Question

Why are rift zones common places for igneous rock to form?

Answer 1

Rift zones are a common place for igneous rocks to form because when the rift in the Earth happens, magma is in the crack. When this magma cools, it hardens forming Igneous rock.


*When magma or lava cools and hardens it forms Igneous rock.

Answer 2

Igneous RockBelow the hard, solid lithosphere, Earth’s interior contains hot, melted rocks in liquid form. When liquid rock cools, it solidifies to become igneous rock. The lava that flows from a volcano can cool to form the igneous rock basalt. Molten material deep within Earth can form the igneous rock granite.
