The effect of temperature in the formation of igneous rocks is crucial, as it determines the melting of magma and the crystallization of minerals. Higher temperatures facilitate the melting of solid rock into magma, while cooling temperatures lead to the crystallization of minerals as the magma solidifies. The specific temperature at which this occurs influences the rock's texture, mineral composition, and overall characteristics. Typically, the formation of igneous rocks occurs at temperatures ranging from around 700°C to 1300°C.
igneous rocks form within earths surface
Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
It affects the color.
Without igneous rocks, we would not have beautiful granite countertops.

Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
No, erosion is not necessary for the formation of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can occur below the Earth's surface or on the surface. Erosion can affect igneous rocks once they have been formed by breaking them down and transporting the sediments.

Because the lava from volcanoes form igneous rocks
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks through the process of heat and pressure, but they are more commonly associated with forming from existing metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks can indirectly contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks by heating up and altering surrounding rocks, leading to the formation of new metamorphic rocks.
By high pressure and temperature
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
Igneous rocks can be classified by their method of formation and by their mineralogy.
