Phaneritic

Explanation:

Igneous rock textures most likely to have formed below the earth's surface are termed phaneritic textures.

A rock texture is the arrangement of minerals in a mass of rock body.

During crystallization of melt, different texture attributes can be used to delineate the environment where a rock forms.

Rocks that cools beneath the earth crust are called intrusive igneous rocks. They allow for enough time for mineral grains to grow due to little nucleation centers forming at the same time.

Big grains of minerals gives the rock mass a coarse texture said to be phaneritic.

Extrusive and volcanic rocks usually forms glassy and aphanitic textures.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Before mountain building occurred, the area was underwater.

Explanation:

Through excavation, fossils that are of marine animals are often found high on mountain ranges. This seems weird from today's perspective, as marine animals can only be found in ocean waters, and there is no way they can travel on land and upon the mountains. Earth has changed a lot throughout history though, so such occurances are actually not that weird.

The mountains in Pennsylvania are such a place, with an abundance of marine fossils. When we look at the geological past of what is now Pennsylvania we can easily see why this is the case. The whole area was actually underwater for millions of years. This was the case before mountain building occurred here when part of the ocean floor raised high above the surface of the water and created land. As the crust was going up, the fossils on it went up as well.
