What factors can affect the texture of igneous rock?
The length of time the magma had to cool
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
What characteristics are used to classify igneous rocks?
Intrusive and extrusive factors of an igneous rock classify them. The other factors are if they are vesicular, coarse, fine grained, glassy, or very coarse
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
What factors and processes can affect the pathway that igneous rock takes in the rock cycles?
Melting and cooling

What two factors does an igneous rock form?
nothing!
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
What processes change igneous rock into metamorphic rock?
Directional pressure and high temperatures are two factors that could cause an igneous rock to metamorphose. Processes that lead to these factors could be tectonic plate movements, depth of burial, or proximity to an intrusive body.
What type of rock forms when molten rock cools?
Rock that forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies is called igneous rock.
What igneous rock is formed from magma or lava cools and hardens?
Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.
What describes rock that was formed when molten rock cooled down?
Igneous rock is formed.
What characteristics are used to classify igneous rocks?
Intrusive and extrusive factors of an igneous rock classify them. The other factors are if they are vesicular, coarse, fine grained, glassy, or very coarse
