Why it would be easier for geologists to study extrusive igneous rocks than intrusive igneous rocks?
Since extrusive rocks are formed by lava (not magma), the rocks can be found easier because they are on the surface, whereas intrusive rocks are formed underground so they are either harder to get to or they are found in smaller quantities.
What rocks scratch glass?
Most rocks would.
Which property would be most useful in identifying the unknown rock?
mineral content
Which rocks have a name that means ''fire''?
Igneous rocks.
What type of rocks would you expect to find around a volcano crater?
You would find extrusive igneous rocks. Beyond that it depends on the volcano.

What group of rocks would granite be?

Why do you classify organsims?
It makes it easier to find information about them. If we didn't do this the information would be lost and we would be forever re-identifying the same creatures over and over.
What rock group would a volcanic rock be associated with?
Volcanic rocks are considered igneous.

Which rock would be harder to break with a hammer a sedimentary rock or an igneous rock?
You would normally think that an igneous rock would be harder to break. However, it completely depends on which igneous rock is being compared to which sedimentary rock, as their resistance to breakage is so varied. There are some igneous rocks (obsidian and pumice, for example) that would break much easier than some sedimentary rocks, such as chert or flint.
Would a rock with no mineral crystals be called a intrusive?
No, but it's easier to see if you reverse the logic of the question. Intrusive rocks are igneous by definition, and these are all blends of crystalline minerals.
What happens when there is a lot of water present in the magma?
The large amount of water would increase the amount of magma, making it easier to melt rocks. The water vapor would help the magma cause explosive eruptions.
