Igneous rocks are formed as magma solidifies on the earth surface.

The process that might have formed this rock is:

A. melting underground, violent volcanic eruption, and solidification above ground

<h3>Igneous Rocks</h3>

Igneous rocks are known to be rocks that are formed when the magma melts underground and rises up to the earth surface via volcanic eruptions.

When they rise to the earth surface, they cool and solidify. This process will then result to the production of crystals.

Intrusive and extrusive rocks are formed in this process.

Which features are associated with divergent boundaries?
sergiy2304 [10]

Features that are typical for the divergent plate boundaries are:

- <em>ocean ridges;</em>

Underwater mountain chains that are very long and are marking the border of the plates.

- <em>formation of new crust;</em>

Since the crust is very weakened and loose, the high temperature, pressure, and magma, are able to penetrate it and create new crust.

- <em>intense volcanic activity;</em>

The high amount of magma penetrating from the mantle layer is causing intense volcanic activity, thus the creating on new crust, and underwater mountain chains.
