All of the following are characteristics of igneous rocks EXCEPT they typically form through the processes of sedimentation and compaction. Instead, igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten rock, either magma beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or lava on the surface (extrusive). They are characterized by their crystalline texture and mineral composition.
What else can I help you with?
What are NOT characteristics of igneous rocks?
B/c they are made out of lava
What are all the igneous rocks?
All Igneous rocks are:CrystallineComposed of mineralsFormed from magma/lava (except for 'tuff' which forms from ash, which is a volcanic product)(Please add more)
Are igneous rocks made with pressure?
No, igneous rocks are not primarily formed through pressure; they are created from the solidification of molten rock, or magma. This process can occur either beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface following a volcanic eruption, leading to extrusive igneous rocks. While pressure can play a role in the formation of other rock types, such as metamorphic rocks, it is not a defining factor for igneous rocks.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
What are NOT characteristics of igneous rocks?
B/c they are made out of lava
What to characteristics can be used to divide igneous rocks into groups?
i have no clue!
Is made of sediments an igneous rock characteristics?
No, rocks made of sediments are called sedimentary rocks. Igneous rock comes from volcanic activity -- lava and the like.

All Igneous rocks are:CrystallineComposed of mineralsFormed from magma/lava (except for 'tuff' which forms from ash, which is a volcanic product)(Please add more)
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rocks can form metamorphic rocks by being subjected to high heat and pressure, causing recrystallization of minerals. Igneous rocks can also weather and erode to form sediment, which can then be deposited, compacted, and cemented to form sedimentary rocks.
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
Are igneous rocks made with pressure?
No, igneous rocks are not primarily formed through pressure; they are created from the solidification of molten rock, or magma.

While pressure can play a role in the formation of other rock types, such as metamorphic rocks, it is not a defining factor for igneous rocks.
Can an igneous rock change into a metamorphic rock?
Yes, metamorphism occurs under influence of pressure and temperature, igneous rocks aren't except from that.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
What rock solidifies that forms igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks form from the solidification of molten rock material called magma or lava. When magma cools and crystallizes beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. Conversely, when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, it creates extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition determine the texture and characteristics of the resulting igneous rock.
