What kind of rocks make up the most of the igneous rocks?
Basalt and granite are the most common types of rocks that make up igneous rocks. Basalt is a fine-grained volcanic rock, while granite is a coarse-grained intrusive rock.
How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
What are the three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle?
The three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma, sedimentary rocks result from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
Is burial of sediment which makes the igneous rocks?
Burial of sediment does not make igneous rock.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
What kind of rocks make up most of the igneous rocks?
Basalt not 100% but most of it. About 10% is other rocks. I hope that helps

Do we have igneous rock in Nigeria?
No we do not have igneous rocks in Nigeria because there are no volcanoes in Nigeria and it is lava or magma that make igneous rocks.
What sort of rocks can igneous rocks make?
Igneous rocks can be transformed not made but i think you are asking what types of rocks are igneous rocks well any rock that had once been lava/molten is an igneous rock and lava/molten comes from volcano.You might want to search on Google-types of igneous rocks or how can igneous rocks be transformed. From Ayushi:)
Why did the igneous rocks are always hard?
refer to mode of formation of igneous rock, they are formed due to solidification of molten magma(lava) from within the earths crust. thus igneous rock become the major source of other rocks kind and it also contain different kind of minerals that make its hardness, other rock originate from igneous rock after some processes
What is cooled to make igneous rocks?
lava
What rocks make up the Canadian badlands?
Igneous Rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks
What can make Sedimentary Rocks and Igneous Rocks change into Metamorphic Rocks?
heat and pressure.
How does an igneous rock change to metamorphic?
Meta-igneous. Metamorphism of igneous rocks can form a wide range of metamorphic rocks, depending on the mineralogy of the igneous protolith and the P-T conditions of the metamorphism.
How does the volume of sedimentary rocks in Earth's crust compare with the volume of igneous rocks in the crust?
Sedimentary rocks make up about 75% of Earth's crust by volume, while igneous rocks make up about 15-20%. Sedimentary rocks form through processes like erosion, deposition, and cementation, while igneous rocks form from the cooling of molten magma.
What are the three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle?
The three types of rocks that make up the rock cycle are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma, sedimentary rocks result from the accumulation and compression of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
What kind of stones make up Stonehenge?
The major stones are local sandstone. Some are Welsh igneous rocks, see the plan on Wikipedia.
