Which is an igenous rock limestone rhyolite slate or shale?
Rhyolite.
Is it possible for granite to transform into an igneous rock?
Granite already is an igenous rock, but it can melt and then re-solidify to form an igenous rock again. The new rock might not necessarily be granite, either if the melted granite erupts from a volcano or mixes with magma of a different composition.
What effect does a fast cooling rate have on grain size in igenous rocks?
Fast cooling lava or magma creates an aphanitic or small crystal (grain) textured igneous rock.
What are Igneous rocks that formed beneath Earth's surface called?
Igneous rocks that are formed deep inside earth are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks are created when magma cools over millions of years inside earth. As it is cools, elements combine and form minerals. Intrusive igneous rocks are usually identified because they have visible crystals.
What is the igneous rocks that cool quickly on the surface?

What forms igenous rock?
The cooling, solidification, crystallization and hardening of molten magma or lava.
How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?
No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.
Which igenous rock has a pyroclastic texture meaning it waf formed frm a glowing avalanche?
