I WONDER - How Are Igneous Rocks Formed?

Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava. Magma is molten rock inside Earth, while lava erupts from volcanoes. Both are very hot and solidify into rock upon cooling.

What are igneous rocks primarily formed from?

• Erosion and weathering

• Metamorphic processes

• Sedimentary layers

• Cooled and solidified magma or lava

Where is magma typically found?

• Deep inside the Earth

• On the ocean floor

• In the atmosphere

• On mountain peaks

What is the main difference between magma and lava?

• Magma is cooler than lava

• Magma is molten rock inside the Earth, lava is molten rock that erupts

• Magma is solid, lava is liquid

• Magma is found on the surface, lava is underground

What happens to magma and lava when they cool?

• They become liquid water

• They evaporate

• They form solid rock

• They turn into gas

Which of the following is true about lava?

• It erupts from volcanoes

• It is colder than magma

• It is found deep inside the Earth

• It forms sedimentary rocks
