Key Points
- Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification and cooling of magma.
- Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface.
- Igneous rocks can be classified into two types - intrusive and extrusive.
- Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive igneous rocks are formed when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface.
Additional Information
- Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed from the precipitation of minerals from water, such as halite (rock salt) and gypsum.
- Metamorphic rocks are formed from the transformation of pre-existing rocks due to heat, pressure, and/or chemical activity.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, such as sandstone and limestone.
