Is igneous formed from molten rock?

Answer 1

Rocks formed under the surface of the Earth over a long period of time from cooling magma are called intrusive igneous rocks. At or near the surface, cooling lava creates extrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks, like granite, will have visible, easily identifiable crystals which are due to the long amount of time spent in the crystal formation temperature range. Extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt, will not have visible crystals (seeing them requires magnification) due to the short amount of time spent in the crystal formation temperature range of the lava.

Answer 2

Yes, Igneous rocks are formed from molten rocks such as lava and magma (igneous means from fire). Sedimentary rocks are formed from sediments which have been depositied at the bottoms of seas and oceans and then subjected to pressure. Metamorphic rocks are Sedimentary rocks which have later been subjected to heat and pressure which has caused their structure to change (morphic means change).

Answer 3

Yes, igneous rocks are formed from the solidification of molten rock material, such as magma or lava. As the molten rock cools and crystallizes, it forms different types of igneous rocks based on factors like cooling rate and mineral composition.

Answer 4

Igneous rock is formed from magma/lava. So yes
