What else can I help you with?
What are a basic list of the physical properties of igneous rocks?
Some basic physical properties of igneous rocks include color, texture (such as grain size and shape), density, hardness, and composition (mineral content). Additionally, features like porosity, cleavage, fracture, and luster can help further describe and classify 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.
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 is stronger igneous or metamorphic rocks?
In general, igneous rocks tend to be stronger than metamorphic rocks due to their crystalline structure and lack of weaknesses like cleavage planes that are common in metamorphic rocks. However, the specific strength of a rock depends on factors such as composition, grain size, and how the rock has been altered by geological processes.
What are ways to identify igneous rocks?
You can use the characteristics(color, luster, streak, hardness, cleavage, fracture, and crystal).
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks

Why are igneous are called primary rocks?
Igneous rocks
Are volcanic rocks igneous rocks?
Yes. Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
Is cleavage splitting of rocks in definite surfaces?
Cleavage is the splitting of rocks or minerals along defined surfaces.
How do fine- grained igneous rocks from?
extrusive igneous rocks =/
