GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. On the rare occasions when magma breaks the surface, as in a volcanic eruption, it is called lava.

Detailed explanation-3: -Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magma is molten rock located below the surface; lava is molten rock erupted above ground. Magma is lower in temperature; lava is higher in temperature. Tap the card to flip
