Describe how igneous activity can affect the landscape Igneous intrusions form when cooling‚ crystallization and loss of gases cause a once fluid magma to solidify. Most rocks that form intrusions originate as either granitic or basaltic magma. Granitic magmas are low density and small quantities‚ just a few kilometers wide‚ rise slowly through the earth’s upper crust‚ pushing existing country rock aside. However‚ very large granite masses‚ which can be up to 1‚000 times larger‚ are formed when magma

the most common disorder affecting the teeth. The main factors controlling the risk of dental caries are oral hygiene‚ exposure to fluoride and a moderate frequency of consumption of cariogenic foods. Teeth are also affected by "tooth wear" or erosion. This condition is a normal part of aging where tooth enamel is lost due to exposure from acids other than those produced by plaque. Attrition and abrasion are other forms of tooth wear. Attrition occurs when teeth are eroded by tooth-to-tooth
