What rock would most likely to be found on a volcanic mountain?
you would normally find igneous rock which is formed by cooled magma.
Why it would be easier for geologists to study extrusive igneous rocks than intrusive igneous rocks?
Since extrusive rocks are formed by lava (not magma), the rocks can be found easier because they are on the surface, whereas intrusive rocks are formed underground so they are either harder to get to or they are found in smaller quantities.
What type of rock is formed by cool lava or magma?
An igneous rock is formed when magma cools and hardens. Some examples of igneous rocks are pumice and obsidian.
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
What rock would most likely be found near a volcano?
When lava reaches the surface of the Earth through volcanoes or through great fissures the rocks that are formed from the lava cooling and hardening are called extrusive igneous rocks. Some of the more common types of extrusive igneous rocks are lava rocks, cinders, pumice, obsidian , and volcanic ash and dust
How would you describe the texture of an igneous rock that formed extremely slowly underground?
pegmatitic
How would you best describe the texture of an igneous rock that formed extremely slowly underground?
Coarse

What are the parent rocks of gabbro?
Gabbro is an igneous rock, and therefore does not have a parent rock as would a metamorphic rock. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling and solidification of mafic magmas deep underground.
What was the basalt and igneous rock formed by?
Basalt and igneous rocks were formed by what we would call magma/lava
What size are the crystals on diorite?
Diorite, being an intrusive igneous rock, formed underground by slow cooling, would have crystals large enough to be visible.
What are some examples of intrusive igneous rock?
Granite and gabbro are the two biggies, granite being formed underground by felsic magma, and gabbro being formed underground by mafic magma. Diorite and peridotite are two others.

Where would igneous rocks be at?
Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
