Question

What is igneous rock​

Answer 1

Answer:

Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust.

Igneous rocks:-

There are three general types of rocks, those that form from melt (igneous rocks), those that are deposited from air or water (sedimentary rocks), and those that have formed by "cooking" or otherwise altering another rock (metamorphic rocks).

Igneous Rocks form by crystallizing melted material (magma). They can form either on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks), or deep in the crust (intrusive or plutonic igneous rocks). Volcanoes are places where magma erupts as lava or ash.

The texture of an igneous rock (fine-grained vs coarse-grained) is dependent on the rate of cooling of the melt: slow cooling allows large crystals to form, fast cooling yields small crystals.

Magmas and their resultant plutonic rock bodies cool and crystallize slowly and are characterized by coarse-grained texture, in which the mineral crystals are visible to the unaided eye. On the other hand, lavas cool quickly at the earth's surface and are characterized by fine-grained texture, in which the crystals are too small to be seen by the unaided eye.
