Kat is creating a model to show how plate movements are linked to the formation of new rocks, and she is trying to place the steps in the correct order. Which step comes first?


The tectonic plates move apart from one another

Lava flows onto Earth's surface


magma forms beneath the plates and rises up through the cracks


Lava cools and hardens to form igneous rock

Respuesta :

1. Tectonic plates move
2. Magma forms and rises through the cracks
3. Lava flows onto the Earth’s surface
4. Lava cools and hardens to form igneous rock

Igneous Rocks are rocks that are made from magma (molten lava). The correct order of the Igneous Rock formation is ACBD.

Igneous Rock:

These are the rocks made from magma (molten lava). The magma form in the upper mantle and lower crust because of very high temperature.

These rocks form,

  • Movement of a tectonic plate.
  • The magma inside the crust rises from the cracks.
  • Lava flows on the surface of the earth.
  • When lava cools and crystallizes, it forms igneous rocks.

Therefore, the correct order of the Igneous Rock formation is ACBD.
