Rocks formed by changes in heat and pressure or the presence of hot, watery fluids are called igneous rocks.

Further Explanations:

Igneous rocks also termed as magmatic rocks is among one the three types of rocks formed by the freezing and solidification of lava derived from the partial melts of the planets mantle or crust. The process of formation of the igneous rocks would have occurred either by an increase in temperature or by decreases in pressure or by the change in composition of the soil. These processes occur either on the surface of extrusive rocks or below the intrusive rocks and can form layer covering upto16 km of Earth’s crust volume.

The igneous rocks form granular, crystalline rocks by crystallization or forms natural glasses lacking crystallization.These rocks occur at different geological landforms namely platforms, basins, extended crust, oceanic crust, shields, and igneous provinces.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.

Air pressure is measured in pascals. for a professional american football game, the ball should be inflated to about 90,000 pascals. scientists studied the effects of air temperature on the pressure inside american footballs by taking these steps: 1. prepare 100 footballs. 2. measure each football's air pressure. 3. divide footballs into 10 groups. 4. place the groups in different lockers cooled to different air temperatures. 5. after 12 hours, remove the footballs from lockers. 6. measure each football's pressure again. 7. compare the new pressures to the starting pressures. what two terms best describe the variable "air pressure inside the football" in this experiment? independent, qualitative independent, quantitative dependent, qualitative dependent, quantitative
