4. igneous rocks that cool at earths surface are called?\n5. basalt is an example of a ______ rock.\n6. magma that cools inside the earth\n7. granite is an example of this kind or igneous rock.\n8. rocks on the earths surface are subject to what processes that will break them down?\n9. describe the process of forming clastic sedimentary rocks like coal and fossils.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Igneous rocks cooling at Earth's surface are extrusive.
  2. Basalt is an extrusive rock.
  3. Magma cooling inside the Earth forms intrusive rocks.
  4. Granite is an intrusive rock.
  5. Rocks on Earth's surface are subject to weathering and erosion which break them down.
  6. Clastic sedimentary rocks like coal and fossils form from the accumulation, compaction and cementation of sediments. These sediments are derived from pre - existing rocks that are weathered and eroded, then transported and deposited in layers. Over time, the weight of overlying sediments compresses the lower layers and minerals precipitate out to cement the sediments together.

Answer:

  1. Extrusive
  2. Extrusive
  3. Intrusive
  4. Intrusive
  5. Weathering and erosion
  6. Sediments from weathered and eroded pre - existing rocks are accumulated, compacted and cemented together.
