It doesn't necessarily matter what the minerals are, as long as they form from cooling magma or lava. Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of cooled magma (molten rock). They may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks.

What are the common minerals called?
The Solvent
What will you get if you combine geological agregant of minerals with its lowest form?
Rock Bottom
What happens when you combine a geological aggregate of minerals with its lowest form?
That would be, you get, rock bottom
What rock is created when minerals melt?
No rock is created when minerals melt. Igneous rock is formed when molten rock solidifies.
Explain three ways in which new minerals can form from existing minerals?
Igneous forms when melted rock cools and hardens. Igneous rock is also called volcanic rock.Sedementary forms through weathering.Metamorphic forms when mountains build up.

Minerals can combine with each other to form a?
Rock
How limestone can form when water evaporates and leaves behind the minerals that form it.limestone is a?
igneous rock
What igneous rock does not have any minerals in it?
Obsidian is an igneous rock that technically is not composed of minerals. It is a natural glass.
What will you get if you combine geological agregant of minerals with its lowest form?
Rock Bottom
Is magnesium an igneous rock?
No. Magnesium is not a rock; it is a metallic element. It is present in some of the minerals found in igneous rocks. It does not occur naturally in its elemental form.
What happened to lava when it cools?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the crystallization of minerals as the lava cools.
How are minerals formed in igneous and metamorphic rocks?
Minerals form in igneous rock as magma or lava cools. The minerals will form from the available chemicals in the magma as their crystallization temperature is reached. The sequence of mineral crystal formation from magma is described in the Bowen's Reaction Series. Metamorphic rock minerals are aligned, altered, or recrystallized from existing rock minerals due to the effects of heat and/or pressure.

Can the same mineral form a igneous rock?
yes because it is made of all different minerals
Which rock is formed from melted minerals?
A lot, but they would all be igneous rocks.
