What kind of rock makes up most of the igneous rock?
Most igneous rocks are made up of silicate minerals, such as quartz, feldspar, mica, amphibole, and pyroxene. These minerals are rich in silicon and oxygen and form the bulk of the composition of igneous rocks.
What igneous rock does not have any minerals in it?
Obsidian is an igneous rock that technically is not composed of minerals. It is a natural glass.
Can the same mineral form a igneous rock?
yes because it is made of all different minerals
How are igneous and sedimentary rocks similar?
They are all made of minerals. They are solid. They are part of the rock cycle.
Can igneous rock often be identified by their minerals?
Yes, igneous rocks can often be identified by their minerals because the minerals present in an igneous rock are usually specific to the conditions under which the rock formed. By studying the mineral composition of an igneous rock, geologists can determine factors such as the rock's cooling rate, temperature, and pressure during formation.
Is a igneous rock a mineral or rock?
You say it as ' Igneous ROCK ' and ask whether it is a rock..
What kind of rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden?
Igneous rock is formed when melted minerals cool and harden. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rock) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Can igneous rock be identified by other minerals?
no
Basaltic magma forms what kind of igneous rock?
Mafic igneous rock. ( due to Ferromagnesian minerals).
How is a ingenious rock made?
Igneous rocks are naturally made by the solidification of various mixed minerals at the time of inception of the earth.
Is a granite a rock or a mineral?
Granite is an igneous rock. It is commonly formed from the following minerals. Quartz, potassium and Plagioclase Feldspars and Biotite Mica.
Would mineral content classify an igneous rock?
No -- it's a type of rock, often a composite. Primay types are igneous (made by fire -- vulcanism), sedimentary (sea beds) and composite (a mixture of other types). In almost every case, all of these types are defined as how the substance at hand was created and in most cases they are not pure minerals.
