Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Can you come up with a sentence with the word igneous rock in it?
The igneous rock is formed when a rock that is solidified from molten or partly molten matierial.
Once the rock is formed will it always be an igneous rock?
It is possible, but not likely. It is more likely to undergo metamorphism, or be subjected to weathering and erosion, and end up as a different type of rock.
Can any rock become any other type of rock?
Yes. Metamorphic can be weathered away, end up in the ocean and become sedimentary. Sedimentary can end up in a volcano and become metamorphic. It can melt in a volcano and harden, thus becoming igneous. Then, igneous can also weather and get in the sea, just like metamorphic. Or, igneous can end up deep in the earth, where it gets squeezed into metamorphic. Hope that helped! :D

Is igneous rock in the mantle?
Yes, the mantle is largely composed of igneous rock. It is made up of solid rock that is partially molten, allowing for the movement of tectonic plates. Magma from the mantle can solidify to form igneous rock when it reaches the Earth's surface.
How does igneous intrusion end up as a hill?
Basically, igneous intrusion involves the solidifying of magma when it cools in the crust of the Earth. When magma rises through the crust, it intrudes into the existing sedimentary rock layers and forms a hill. The surounding rock may be more prone to erosion and wear away leaving the intrusion jutting above the (eroded) surroundings.
What rock makes up 90 percent of the earth's crust?
