Igneous Rocks
- Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
Igneous rocks are rocks formed by magma. so the best place to find igneous rocks would be by volcanoes or where a volcano once erupted.
Igneous rocks are rocks that form from the cooling of magma or lava, and "igneous" is derived from the Latin word for "fire." Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and pumice.
Near igneous rocks, you might find other igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, or sediments that were derived from the erosion and weathering of igneous rocks. Additionally, hot springs, geysers, and volcanic activity may be present in areas with igneous rocks.

No. You would be referring to sedimentary rocks
Rhyolititcen rocks.
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Those would be igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks.
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
You would find extrusive igneous rocks. Beyond that it depends on the volcano.
Igneous rocks can contain iron, but not all igneous rocks do. The presence of iron in an igneous rock depends on the composition of the magma from which the rock formed. Iron can be found in minerals such as magnetite, hematite, and pyroxene within certain igneous rocks.
