Question

select the correct answer. which type of rock is formed from cooling molten rock?
a. ignenous
b. magma
c. metamorphic
d. sedimentary

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Igneous rocks are formed when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies.
• Option B: Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, not a rock type formed from cooling molten rock.
• Option C: Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks changed by heat, pressure, or chemical processes, not from cooling molten rock.
• Option D: Sedimentary rocks form from sediment accumulation and cementation, not from cooling molten rock.

So the correct answer is the one related to cooling molten rock, which is igneous.

Answer:

A. igneous
