Some Igneous rocks cool off faster than others. The ones that cool off quicker takes a couple of months to cool. the ones that is slower to cool off takes several years. The faster ones cools glassy and with small grains. The slower ones cools off dull and with big grains.
This depends on a lot of factors. Is it intrusive or extrusive? How large is it? How hot was it to start? What are it's chemical properties? A small lava flow will cool in a matter of hours, a large batholith could take millions of years.
Magma becomes igneous rock when it solidifies. Some igneous rock has only taken seconds to solidify from magma while other igneous rock, such as granite may take millions of years.
It depends on how the rock was formed. In the case of the igneous rock obsidian, it may have taken a few minutes. In the case of granite, it may have taken hundreds of thousands of years.
Depends. It may take hours or even minutes.
it takes a couple of days roughly about 3 (days) for lava to be turned into Malten Rock.
millions of years for granite
roughly second to months (very late at responding).
sorry b, i dont know

Basically, all intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals. Because they are intrusive, they take a long time to cool down, and so there is a lot of time for crystal growth. That said, the biggest categories of intrusive igneous rocks are: Peridotite (ultramafic) Gabbro (mafic) Diorite (Intermediate) Granite (silicic/felsic) Granite is the most common one in the continental crust.
cooled lava when it melts is turned to rock if you take a malet and pound it you can see the old lave ozz out into a gush so its like that to store regular lava so its fresh like a fruit you store it in the fridge and when ou open the fridge the fruit is fresh
Sedimentary rocks, as a rule, must first undergo a change into a metamorphic rock (a process which can take hundred of thousands to millions of years), before they may become molten from subduction processes or contact with a body of magma, whereby the magma would cool and form an igneous rock.
It will for an intrusive igneous rock. They usually take longer to cool and have more coarse grains.

Gabbro is a ingenious rock from portions of Canada. It is estimated to be well over a billion years old and one of the oldest types of rock.
No one really know what rock came first but I would assume it would be Igneous because it came from volcanoes and those have been around a long time. Sedimentary rocks take millions of years to form, and metamorphic take long as well. The best answer would definitely have to be igneous.

It varies with the type of rock being formed. Some igneous rock is formed in a matter of minutes; some sedimentary rock is formed in processes requiring many millions of years.

All rocks on Earth take part in the "Rock Cycle". For an igneous or metamorphic rock to change into a sedimentary rock, they must undergo weathering and erosion by wind, water, and/or ice. The broken down pieces of rock (sediments) settle into layers that form a sedimentary rock.
It can take as many years as it needs to. It all depends on what kind of weathering occurs, and how big the grain size is.
