How does the pH of magma affect the formation of igneous rocks?

what are igneous rock classified based upon?
Igneous rocks can be classified by their method of formation and by their mineralogy.
Igneous rocks were formed from what minerals?
Igneous rocks are formed from minerals such as quartz, feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine. These minerals solidify from magma or lava as it cools and hardens, resulting in the formation of igneous rocks.
Why don't igneous rocks look like magma rocks if igneous rock is formed from magma?
Because that is the very definition of igneous rock.
Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
How does metamorphic rock formation compare to igneous rock formation?
Igneous rocks are formed in and around volcanos, metamorphic rocks are formed by the partial melting of rocks deep underground.
Is erosion a necessary for the formation of igneous rocks?
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.
How can igneous rocks be different densities?
Igneous rocks vary greatly in composition and method of formation, resulting in diverse densities.
What process is involved in the formation of all igneous rocks but not in the formation of metamorphic rocks?
mountain building

Can metamorphic rocks form form igneous but not from sedimentary 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.
How are volcanoes important in the formation of rocks?
Because the lava from volcanoes form igneous rocks
What rock solidifies to form igneous rocks?
yes, under high temperatures actually the rock gets molten and turns into a liquid called lava. when this erupts out of the volcano it cools as temperature on surface is very low compared to the inner earth parts. This solidified rock is what we today call IGNEOUS rocks.
What famous formation has been built with igneous rocks?
BASALT is for igneous. SLATE is for metamorphic. LIMESTONE is for sedimentary.
what are igneous rock classified based upon?
Igneous rocks can be classified by their method of formation and by their mineralogy.
Which is the best explanation for the formation of igneous rock?
"Igneous rocks (etymology from Latin ignis, fire) are rocks formed by solidification of cooled magma (molten rock)" ~Wikipedia.comSee Related Links below.
