Rocks that cooled within magma chambers are primarily found on Earth’s surface today because they are revealed by erosion of Earth’s surface over time. Over long periods, weathering and erosion can wear away the overlying rock layers, exposing the igneous rocks that formed deep underground in those magma chambers.
How are rocks that cooled within magma chambers found on Earth’s surface today?
They are pushed up by magma under Earth’s surface.
They are revealed by erosion of Earth’s surface over time.
They are pushed to Earth’s surface because of their larger size.
