gneous rock is formed by the cooling and solidification of molten Earth materials. Igneous rock forms when magma or lava cools. If underground pockets of magma _________________ and solidify, ________________ igneous rock is formed, such as granite. A) cools quickly, extrusive B) cools quickly, intrusive C) cools slowly, extrusive D) cools slowly, intrusive

Respuesta :

The answer is d. Igneous rocks is indeed formed through the cooling of molten lava on the surface, making extrusive igneous rock. However, if those underground pockets of magma were to cool underneath the surface, because of its force to, it will still form intrusive igneous rock, slowly cooling.

The study of rocks is called petrology. There are different types of rocks and are igneous rock, magma, igneous rock and etc.

The correct answer is D which is cooled slowly and intrusive.

What is an igneous rock?

  • Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
  • The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending upon where the molten rock solidifies.

Igneous rocks are indeed formed through the cooling of molten lava on the surface, making extrusive igneous rock.

However, if those underground pockets of magma were to cool underneath the surface, because of its force, it will still form intrusive igneous rock, slowly cooling.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
