Question

Why igneous rocks are said to be the mother rocks(five points)

Answer 1

                      Igneous Rocks: Mother Rocks

• Extrusive igneous rocks cool and solidify quicker than intrusive igneous rocks.

• They are formed by the cooling of molten magma on the earth's surface.

• It rises because it is less dense than the rock from which it was created.

• When magma reaches the surface from beneath water or air, it is called lava.
