After exposure to the surface, igneous rocks begin the process of weathering. Small particles will be worn and washed away by wind and water and deposited in low lying bodies of water where they may eventually be cemented together by mineral solutions and form sedimentary rock.

They are eroded chemically and mechanically.
What else can I help you with?
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 Fossils always found in igneous rocks?
No, fossils are typically found in sedimentary rocks rather than igneous rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, making them more likely to preserve fossils due to their layered nature. Igneous rocks, on the other hand, form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock and are less likely to contain fossils.
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?

Are volcanic rocks igneous rocks?
Yes. Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
Why are igneous are called primary rocks?
Igneous rocks
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
How do fine- grained igneous rocks from?
extrusive igneous rocks =/
Why do rock fossils form in sedimentary rock and not in igneous rock-?
Fossils are formed in sedimentary rock because the rock is formed at temperatures that do not destroy the fossils like the igneous rocks would.
What kind of igneous rocks for on earths surface?
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
Are granite rocks igneous rocks?
Yes. More exactly, intrusive igneous rocks.
