There are three methods of intrusive igneous rock formation. Igneous rock can form at mid ocean ridges, subduction zones, and at the continental crust if it is pushed together.
Quartz is a rock-forming mineral--and can be found in all three rock types. There is no igneous rock formation that is exclusively composed of the mineral quartz.
Igneous rock is one of the three main rock types based on the method of its formation. It is also referred to as plutonic or volcanic rock depending on where it formed. In a nutshell, to be classified as igneous, a rock must have crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock).

the three rock families are igneous rock, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock
There are three types of rock on the face of the Earth. The three rocks are sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous.
Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.
Three types of igneous rocks are pumice, basalt, and granite.
When magma is cooled and hardened, it is an igneous rock. That being said, there's only three left and those three are the three types of rocks. Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
granodiorite, pyroxentite,dunite, and periodite rocks do not belong in the three major igneous rock families.
Rocks are classified into the three categories, based on the method of their formation: Three main categories - igneous (solidified from magma/lava) metamorphic (undergone change from applied heat/pressure) sedimentary (deposited- can be clastic, biochemical and precipitated)
