I addition most of the gasses are driven off into the atmosphere. The slower cooling that takes place underground allows larger crystal formation. Granite is an example of this type of rock formation. Other igneous rocks are pumice, scoria, gabbro, basalt, ryolite, dacite, andesite and ...
Igneous rock, any of various crystalline or glassy rocks formed by the cooling and solidification of magma, which is a hot (600 to 1,300 °C, or 1,100 to 2,400 °F) molten or partially molten rock. Igneous rocks constitute one of the three principal clas

Welded Tuff is a rock that is composed of materials that were ejected from a volcano, fell to Earth, and then lithified into a rock. It is usually composed mainly of volcanic ash and sometimes contains larger size particles such as cinders. The specimen shown above is about two inches (fi...
The Rock Gallery contains pictures and descriptions of common igneous metamorphic sedimentary rock. The igneous rocks are listed at the top of the page followed by metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Crystalline rock, any rock composed entirely of crystallized minerals without glassy matter. Intrusive igneous rocks—those that congeal at depth—are virtually always crystalline, whereas extrusive igneous rocks, or volcanic rocks, may be partly to enti

What processes can change igneous rock into sedimentary rock? Where do extrusive igneous rocks form? How does sandstone turn into gneiss? How are sedimentary rocks found? What is a metamorphic rock formed from basalt? How are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks alike?
Metamorphic rock C. Sedimentary rock D. Volcanic rock 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:在岩石圈中,沉积岩(Sedimentary rock)最有可能包含化石。因为沉积岩是在地表或接近地表的条件下,由松散的沉积物经过压实、胶结等作用形成的岩石,生物遗体容易在沉积过程中被掩埋并保存下来形成化石。火成岩(Igneous ...
