Most igneous rocks have a relatively homogenous mix of minerals which are interlocked.
becuase rocks are rocks and minerals are minerals
The majority of minerals associated with igneous rocks are silicates. It is the proportion of certain silicate minerals that affects the color of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks that are high in orthoclase feldspar, quartz, and muscovite mica will be lighter in color than igneous rocks that are higher in olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite mica.
A rock is an agglomeration of different minerals. Minerals are classified into categories based on their chemistry: oxides, sulphides, silicates, carbonates etc. Rocks are classified primarily by the process that formed them: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
Five basic types:GraniteDioriteGabbroPeriodotitePegmatiteIngenious rocks are made up of at least two minerals.
they are found in approximetily 90 %in the earth crust
feldspar
Igneous.
because racks are rocks and minerals are minerals
I think is melted minerals!
Igneous Rocks
igneous rocks- rocks that are formed from melted minerals. ore-a rock that has a large amount of minerals.

Igneous
igneous rocks are composed of silicate minerals
No it is not. Sedimentary rocks are made of minerals.
Olivine, Pyroxene, Amphibole, Biotite, Muscovite, Potassium Feldspar, Quartz, Plagioclase are the minerals that make up the Igneous Rocks!:)another one is mica
Both are composed of minerals. Some sedimentary rocks contain pieces of igneous rocks.
Not necessarily. Intrusive igneous rocks, especially pegmatites, can have large crystals.
