No. Igneous rock is simply the solid substance left when magma or lava hardens, above ground or below ground.

Basically, all types of Volcanoes. Molten Rock, also called Lava, and Magma are Igneous Rock. They are the rock that comes out of an erupting Volcano.


What rock is a volcano rock?

Volcanic rocks can be classified into three main types: basaltic, andesitic, and rhyolitic. Basaltic rocks, like basalt, are the most common type of volcanic rock and make up the majority of volcanic landforms on Earth. Andesitic rocks, like andesite, have a composition between basalt and rhyolite. Rhyolitic rocks, like rhyolite, have a high silica content and are associated with explosive volcanic eruptions.


Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?

No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.


What is the origin of all igneous rock?

All igneous rock is formed from solidified magma or lava.


Which rock is formed from melted minerals?

Igneous rock is formed from melted minerals that have solidified and cooled. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks.


What is the origin on fine grained igneous rock?

Uplift and solidification


What is the largest of all the igneous?

The largest of all igneous intrusions is called a batholith. Batholiths are formed by the massive invasion of hot magma into country rock.


What is basalt sedimentary ignous or metamorphic?

actually, it truly depends on the type of rock the metamorphic rock formed from. in other words, if it formed from a rock that held basalt in it, the rock has basalt in it. remember that a metamorphic rock can be formed by more than two different types of rock (such as metamorphic quartz, slate, "fool's gold", plus granite). it does not matter which class the metamorphic rock formed from (but if a m. rock such as m. quartz, there is more likely a chance of finding a trace of basalt), as long as it formed from two different class of rock (this does not always apply, for there can be a metamorphic rock made from two or more metamorphic rocks). i would get into geodes...... but that's another answer. :)


Are all rocks formed by volcanoes?

no not all rocks are formed by volcanoes because what about sedimentary rocks which are the rocks formed over a long period of time by little pieces of sand and rock etc. by wind and water


Where do all igneous rocks come from?

Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Magma is molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that has been expelled onto the Earth's surface through volcanic activity.


What kind of volcano has igneous rocks?

All volcanoes produce igneous rocks.
