lava
welded tuff is a igneous rock so it is more likely for it to have the same minerals as most other igneous rocks.
It is most likely formed underground.
It is likely to have a coarse-grained texture.
yes
It is most likely to be sedimentary. However both Igneous and metamorphic rocks can manifest a layered structure so this feature is not diagnostic on its own.

A well-shaped crystal in an igneous rock needs room and time to grow. So, minerals with high melting points form well shaped crystals while ones with lower melting points don't because there isn't as much time for them to form. Quartz crystallizes at a lower temperature than plagioclase so plagioclase is more likely to form well-shaped crystals.
Gemstones do not form in soils.
Igneous
Plagioclase.

It is likely to have a coarse-grained texture.
you would normally find igneous rock which is formed by cooled magma.
yes
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.
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
