The igneous layer is layers of rock formed from the cooling of magma that rises to the earth's surface and forms a vesicular texture due to gas trapped in the melt during solidification also formed as small crystal. Then the light-colored rock with a vesicular texture belongs to igneous rock, such as pumice.

What is the meaning of igneous rock?

Igneous rock can be defined as follows:

  • the rock that is formed when magma rises then it experiences cooling and hardening below the earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock)  
  • the rock that is formed when magma rises then it experiences cooling and hardening above the earth's surface when an eruption occurs (extrusive igneous rock).
  • Intrusive igneous rocks harden more slowly to form large crystals.
  • Extrusive igneous rocks harden more quickly to form small crystals.
  • The texture of extrusive igneous rocks is vesicular because the gas is trapped and the gas has not had time to be released because the magma hardens too quickly.

How is the process of formation of igneous rocks related to the rock cycle?

The process of formation of igneous rocks related to the rock cycle can be explained as follows:

  1. It starts with magma rising but does not reach the surface of the earth and remains hardened on the surface of the earth due to lower temperatures than in the magma chamber and forms intrusive igneous rocks. Meanwhile, magma that reaches the earth's surface during an eruption hardens very quickly and forms extrusive igneous rocks
  2. It experience weathering due to weather, hydrosphere, and biosphere factors afterwards.
  3. The weathering results are then dragged by the water until they reach the ocean by rivers and undergo sedimentation, namely deposition which then forms layers of sedimentary rock.
  4. This layer of sedimentary rock is then gradually buried deep on the earth's surface and becomes metamorphic rock
  5. Next, metamorphic rock deep below the earth's surface is exposed to hot temperatures
  6. After being exposed to hot temperatures, it returns to become magma in which the cycle will continue to rotate for a long time.

In conclusion, igneous rock is the result of magma freezing that rises to the surface of the earth and forms a vesicular texture, especially for extrusive igneous rocks. The following cycle will continue to rotate, starting from the formation of igneous rocks then turning into sedimentary rocks, metamorphic, then it melt into magma until it returns to reforming igneous rocks and so on.

Which artificial waterway connects the pacific ocean to the atlantic ocean?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The Panama canal

Explanation:

Opened in 1914, the Panama canal allows maritime traffic to travel between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans very rapidly through a system of locks (2 on the Pacific side, one in the Atlantic side), and the boats pass through an artificial lake crossing the whole country of Panama.

It takes just a few hours to cross from one side to the other, while it would take weeks to go down to the tip of South America and back up.

In 2016, the canal opened new locks, that can receive larger boats.

Thus, option B is not correct.
