 Igneous rocks are shaped when liquid stone (rock that has been condensed

by high warmth and pressing factor) cools to a strong state

 At volcanic centres, lava is molten rock that comes out of fissures or vents
(when cooled they form rocks such as basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian).
Pyroclastic deposits are clumps of broken material ejected during volcanic
eruptions (e.g. ash, explosives, tuffs, and volcanic breccias).
 The texture, density, colour, and mineral composition of igneous rocks make
them easily distinguishable. The texture of the rock is determined by its form,
size, cooling and solidification period, and crystal arrangement.

Igneous Rock Characteristics

 The volcanic rocks do not have any fossil deposits. If there is any possibility of
a fossil deep inside the crust, it erupts from the Earth's surface and is
destroyed by the tremendous heat generated by these rocks.
 The majority of igneous forms have multiple mineral deposits.
 They can have a glassy or coarse texture.
 Acids rarely react with these substances.
 Mineral deposits come in various sizes and shapes.

 Igneous rocks are referred to as primary rocks because they are produced by
the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
 Magma can be formed by the partial melting of existing rocks in the mantle or
crust of a planet.
 They are also known as parent rocks because they are the root of all other
rocks.
 Igneous rocks are created by the cooling of liquid magma/lava. They are the
root of all other rocks, which is why they are also called parent rocks.
  Igneous rocks are used for a variety of purposes, which is why they are
common among architects and sculptors.
 Sculptors and builders sometimes use igneous rocks. This rock was chosen
because it is readily accessible, inexpensive, and feasible in nature. This rock
is incredibly solid, making it the best choice for constructing strong-structured
statues and structures.
 As a consequence, this rock exhibits a number of characteristics, which is
why it is widely used in the design of buildings and sculptures.

 The igneous rocks that make up most of the outside are covered by a slender
facade of free residue in many puts on a superficial level, and the rock formed
by layers of this debris is compacted and cemented together.
 Secondary sedimentary rocks are so named because they are formed by the
accumulation of small fragments of pre-existing rocks. Sedimentary rocks
are divided into three categories:
 Clastic
 Chemical
 Organic

 Based on their chemical/mineral composition, as well as texture and

grain size, igneous rocks are categorized as felsic, intermediate, mafic,
or ultramafic: Extrusive rocks can be fine-grained (microscopic crystals) or
glassy, whereas intrusive rocks are coarse-grained (all crystals are visible to
the naked eye) (no crystalline structure; i.e., no minerals). 
 The porphyritic texture is characterized by visible crystals floating in a fine-
grained groundmass in volcanic rocks, particularly felsic and intermediate.

 Pre-existing rocks or parts of once-living organisms are used to build

sedimentary rocks.
 They're made up of deposits that build up on the surface of the Earth.
 Layering or bedding in sedimentary rocks is often noticeable.
 Mesas and arches made of layered sedimentary rock feature in many of the
scenic views of the desert southwest.
 weathering material transport,
 material deposition,
 compaction, and
 cementation of the sediment to form a rock are all examples of sedimentary
rocks.

On the basis of formation agents, there are five major types of rocks:
 Riverine Rocks are made up of sediments deposited by moving water or a
river.
 Lacustrine rocks are created by the deposition of silt and other materials on
the lakebed.
 Glacial Rocks are made up of debris carried by glaciers and deposited there.
 Aeolean Rocks are made up of sand that has collected due to wind erosion.
 Sea rocks are made up of sediments that have collected on the ocean floor.
Calcarious and Carbonaceous sedimentary rocks are the two types.

 Sediments are collected in waterbodies and sorted according to scale during

the formation of sedimentary rocks.
 The sediments build up in layers or strata that are stacked one on top of the
other.
 Particles of a particular size are contained in each layer or stratum.
 Each layer or stratum of sedimentary rocks comprises particles of a particular
size.
 As a result, sedimentary rocks are often referred to as stratified rocks.

 Rocks are the origins of soil.

 Soils are suitable for agricultural products that provide food, as well as raw
materials for a number of industries.
 Directly or indirectly, rocks have a range of building materials.
 Building materials such as granite, gneiss, sandstone, marble, and slates are
commonly used.
 The Taj Mahal is built of white marble, while the Red Forts of Delhi and Agra
are constructed of red sandstone.
 In various parts of India, slates are used for roofing.
 Modern civilization is based on the base of minerals.
 Metallic minerals include all metals, including the highly valuable gold,
platinum, silver, copper, aluminum, and iron.
 These metals can be found in a variety of rocks.
 Many industries rely on particular rocks and minerals as raw materials.
 Different forms of rocks and minerals are used to produce finished products in
the cement industry and limestone kilns.
 As a raw material, graphite is used to produce crucibles and pencils.
 Similar metamorphic or igneous rocks include precious stones and metals.

 Fossils are mainly found in sedimentary rocks, but they can also be found in
metamorphic rocks like slate.
 The explanation for this is due to the way rocks are made. Sedimentary rocks
are made up of sediments that bury organic tissues without destroying them;
however, soft tissue decays, leaving bones and shells behind.
 The soft tissue imprint may be retained if minerals gradually replace it. Fossils
are rarely found in metamorphic rocks because they were damaged by the
heat and pressure that created them.
 Plants and animals could be caught in extrusive igneous rock (lava flows), but
the heat would kill them, leaving only a cast fossil.

 Metamorphism is characterized as the alteration of minerals or geologic

texture (distinct arrangement of minerals) in pre-existing rocks (protoliths) that
does not result in the protolith melting into liquid magma (a solid-state
change).
 Heat, strain, and the introduction of chemically active fluids are the key
causes of transition. Even the chemical composition and crystal structure of
the minerals that make up the rock can change. Even though the rock
remains solid, the chemical components and crystal structures of the minerals
that make it up can change.
 Gneiss, marble, and quartzite, all metamorphosed from granite, limestone,
and sandstone, are examples of metamorphic rocks. Diamond is made from
coal.

 Any of a group of rocks formed by the alteration of preexisting rocks in

response to changing environmental conditions such as temperature,
pressure, and mechanical stress, as well as the addition or removal of
chemical components. It's probable that the pre-existing rocks are or other
metamorphic rocks.

 Texture and composition are used to categorize the objects.

 Fossils are extremely rare.
 Acidic reactions are possible.
 Alternate bands of light and dark minerals are possible.
 Marble and quartzite, for example, maybe made up of only one mineral.
 There may be visible crystal layers.
 Mineral crystals of various sizes are usually used.
 Pores and openings are uncommon.
 Foliation may be bent or curved.

 The planet is thought to be 4700 million years old, with rocks appearing 3400
years ago. Since then, these rocks have undergone a number of
transformations, resulting in several transformations within the rocks. The rock
cycle refers to the ongoing transformation of old rocks into new rocks.
 Rock melts again, creating igneous rock, in order to hold the planet young. It
takes hundreds to thousands of years for disintegrated material to recombine
into sedimentary rock.
