What is igneous rock?
Igneous rock is one of the three main rock types based on the method of its formation. It is also referred to as plutonic or volcanic rock depending on where it formed. In a nutshell, to be classified as igneous, a rock must have crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock).
What are two different paths an igneous rock can take to become another Igenous Rock?
An igneous rock can become another igneous rock through the process of melting and subsequent solidification. When an igneous rock is subjected to high temperatures, it can melt into magma, which may rise and cool to form a new igneous rock upon solidification. Alternatively, an igneous rock can undergo weathering and erosion, with the resulting sediments being buried and subjected to heat and pressure, ultimately leading to melting and reformation as a different igneous rock.
What two geological processes are involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock?
The two geological processes involved in changing a metamorphic rock to an igneous rock are melting and solidification. When a metamorphic rock is subjected to high temperatures, it can melt to form magma. This molten material can then rise to the surface, where it cools and solidifies, resulting in the formation of igneous rock.

What are two processes a rock must undergo before it can become in an igneous rock?
Two processes a rock must undergo before becoming an igneous rock are melting, where the rock is heated to a point where it turns into magma, and cooling, where the magma solidifies to form an igneous rock.

intrusive
What are two main classifications of igneous rocks?
The two types of igneous rock are are intrusive and extrusive, depending on where they form. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground from slow cooling magma. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface from quick cooling lava.
What does extrusive rock means?
Extrusive igneous rock is one of two different types of igneous rocks. The other kind is intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma in Earth's lithosphere cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when lava on Earth's surface cools and hardens.
Which two rocks could be cut into building blocks to make walls of buildings?
Igneous rock and Meta-igneous rock.
When molten rock cooled on the moon what type of rock did it become?
They become igneous rock. Anorthosite and basalt are the two primary igneous rocks on the surface of the moon.
What are two examples of igneous rock?
Granite and Basalt.
