Hot magma or lava.
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
An igneous rock is formed through the solidification of molten material, either magma or lava, that cools and crystallizes. This process occurs below or on the Earth's surface. The mineral composition and texture of igneous rocks vary depending on factors such as the cooling rate and the composition of the molten material.

What kind of rock makes up most of the igneous rock?
There is no rock that makes up igneous rock. It is made when lava cools and hardens.
When igneous rock forms what does magma and lava do?
When lava hardens it makes igneous rock
What makes up Ship Rock?
A igneous rock read people
Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
How can a igneous rocks change into a sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks can change to igneous rock when it goes through the rock cycle so a sediment can move to igneous rock where there is a volcanic activity happens making the the sediment get heat and pressure that makes igneous rock.So when you do the rock cycle you can go from igneous rock to a metamorphic rock.

What process changes a sedimentary rock into an igneous rock?
Sedimentary rock can change intometamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rockcan change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals.

What rock makes up most of the earth's continents?
Granitic igneous rock.
How do you think magma turns into extrusive igneous rocks?
When melted rock material cool's on earth's surface, it makes Extrusive Igneous Rock.
What makes a sedimentary or igneous rock form to a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure is applied to the rock and it becomes a metamorphic rock.
