a question for research

Can you tell by looking closely at a piece of igneous rock if it cooled above ground or underground?   Research this question and determine your answer.

no

No you can not.

The piece of igneous rock was cooled underground because magma is underground, and lava is above ground.

Rachel P. said...

Yes, you can.

undergrond

mckenzi A said...

no you can tell if it cooled above ground or underground

Anthony johnson said...

Maga is above ground not underneath.

Summer K. said...

I don't think that you can tell.

Nico J. said...

Yes, because one has air pockets, which creates big holes and the other does not.

Tessa L. said...

It was cooled underground .

Jack Hanson said...

By just looking at it yes you can tell the difference between the two

Cameron F said...

No but Igneous rock is cooled above because magma is above ground so is lava so it must cool above ground.

Aiden S. said...

Yes you can.

Olivia B said...

Yes I think you can tell if Igneous rock is cooled above or underground.

ColiBrianna J said...

Yes you can

Allie H. said...

You can not tell if a piece of igneous rock has cooled above ground or below ground because it had to irrupt before it cooled.

Natalie I. said...

yes because magma is underground and lava is above ground

If it was above ground then it probably has crystals.

Jack A said...

you can it was cooled underground and the surface.

MacKay W said...

The piece of Igneous rock cooled underground because magma is found in the Earth, and lava is found above the Earth.

Mitchell H. said...

Yes if it melted on the surface it might have air pockets and if it's under ground it's just solid.

Contessa F. said...

Yes, if a rock is made above the surface it has smaller crystals than it would if it was mad underground.

Jesse H. said...

underground

Vincent said...

igneous rock can cool underground or above ground

Carter F. said...

Yes

laysse reynolds said...

Nope

AlexisR said...

Igneous rock cools under the ground.

Hailey R said...

no

Emma M said...

nope

Elise R. said...

Yes you can, because the intrusive igneous rocks cool slowly, forming crystals. The extrusive cools quickly, leaving holes and no crystals.

Hannah C. said...

no

Riley C. said...

Yes if a rock is made above the surface it has smaller crystals that it would if it was made underground.

nova.s said...

Yes you can.

Becca P said...

yes if a rock was above ground it would have smaller crystals then a rock that was under ground.

clint said...

no you cant

Cadence W. said...

no you can not tell weather they cooled above or under ground because they all look the same.

Deanna I. said...

You can tell if it was cool ubove ground or under.

Liam B said...

No you can't.

Gavin R. said...

Yes, you can tell if a igneous rock has cooled above ground or underground.

KENNYB said...

yes because above ground it would be igneous and below ground it would turn into crystals

Grace Q said...

underground

Alexia S said...

Igneous rock is cooled in both places

Kevin O said...

NOOOOOO

lily o said...

no

william.B said...

Yes because it would look diffrent

Macey C. said...

Yes, because above ground it might get air pockets, but below ground it won't.

Ethan R said...

no you can't

Emma B said...

I don't really know

Erica C. said...

Yes you can because only one of them would have crystals.

Avery N said...

Yes

Brianna G said...

Yes you can tell if an igneous rock was cooled above ground or underground.

Zoe Schmaling said...

when a piece of igneous rock is cooled underground you can tell because most of the time they don't have wholes from released air and gas because they don't let out underground because they are being compacted.

Ariella S said...

Yes you can because sometimes when lava cools is has air holes, but when the magma cools inside a volcano it usually would cool slower so it has crystals.

Anonymous said...

Yes you can tell if a igneous rock has cooled below or above ground.

Ethan F. said...

If you looked closely at a piece of igneous rock, you would be able to tell if it was cooled above or below ground. This is because the slower the magma cools, the more chance crystals or mineral grains have to grow in it.

Grace D said...

Yes because it has air pockets if it forms extrusivly.

Drew C said...

Underground

Zach R said...

Above ground.

Alissah H said...

No u can not

Gabby S said...

Yes because it may have air pockets.

Ryan21doe Caden21doe said...

No but Igneous rock is cooled above because magma is above ground so is lava so it must cool above ground.

Cole Mac. said...

I don't think you can

lindsey p said...

Yes, because it might have air holes in it.

Sam P said...

Yes

naomi s said...

yes you can

David R. said...

NO YOU CAN'T!!

Cameron G said...

Yes

reegant said...

it froms air pocets so yeah

Mason R. said...

Yes you can because it might have air holes in the rock.
