Where is an igneous rock most likely from?
igneous rocks usally form by cooled magma.
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
What are two possible fates for a igneous rock?
Two of the most common fates of igneous rocks are to become sediment (and later sedimentary rocks) or to become metamorphic rocks.
What kind of rocks make up most of the igneous rocks?
Basalt not 100% but most of it. About 10% is other rocks. I hope that helps
What kind of rocks make up most of the igneous group?
Basalt and other dark colored igneous rocks are the most with % of 66% and granite and other light to medium colored igneous rocks fill the other half with 44%

What type of rocks form from lava after a volcanic eruption?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma. The resulting rock can be instrusive (magma cooling within the crust) and extrusive (lava cooling on the surface). The most common kind of rocks are Granite (intrusive) and Basalt (extrusive).
What property is common to most dark-colored igneous rocks?
Most dark-colored igneous rocks have a high density.
What property is common to most dark colored igneous rocks?

How are minerals arranged in igneous rocks?
Most igneous rocks have a relatively homogenous mix of minerals which are interlocked.
Why sedimentary rocks are found as a veneer covering large areas of continental igneous rock?
Sedimentary rocks are the result of broken down igneous rocks so they cover up most of igneous rocks.
