Geosphere
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface, such as heat and pressure from the Earth's interior, are different from those on or near Earth's surface, which are mainly driven by weathering, erosion, and deposition processes. Both sets of forces ultimately contribute to the transformation of rocks through the rock cycle.
fre
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.

No, the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface are primarily related to heat and pressure from the Earth's internal processes, such as tectonic activity. On or near the Earth's surface, factors like weathering, erosion, and deposition play a more significant role in shaping the rock cycle. Both sets of forces work together to continuously transform rocks on Earth.

Intrusive rock
Melted rock below Earth's surface is known as magma. Magma forms when rocks in the Earth's mantle melt due to high temperatures and pressure. As magma rises towards the surface, it can eventually erupt as lava through a volcano.

Intrusive igneous rock (plutonic rock).
Molted rock below Earths surface is called Magma.
igneous
Igneous rock that forms below the Earth's surface is intrusive.
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
