Are igneous rocks the result of cooling of molten material?
Answers
Answer:
its actually magma but yes you are right
Explanation:
Molten rock that cools on Earth's surface forms igneous rocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
Molten rock that cools on Earth's surface forms igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rock material.
There are two basic types.
1. Intrusive igneous rocks:
Intrusive igneous rocks crystallize below Earth's surface, and the slow cooling that occurs there allows large crystals to form.
Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, and peridotite.
2. Extrusive igneous rocks:
Extrusive igneous rocks erupt onto the surface, where they cool quickly to form small crystals. Some cool so quickly that they form an amorphous glass. These rocks include andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria, and tuff.
