What are igneous rocks? U.S. Geological
网页Igneous rocks (from the Latin word for fire) form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface.

Igneous Rocks: Pictures, DescriptionsIdentification
网页Basalt is the most common igneous rock on the Earth’s surface. It is found on the ocean floor and in many locations on land where large lava flows erupted to the surface. Because basaltic magma is exposed to cool air or water during an eruption, the crystals form rapidly and are therefore very small.

Igneous rock Mineralogical components Britannica
网页The major mineralogical components of igneous rocks can be divided into two groups: felsic (from feldspar and silica) and mafic (from magnesium and ferrous iron). The felsic minerals include quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, feldspars (plagioclase and alkali feldspar), feldspathoids (nepheline and leucite), muscovite, and corundum. Because felsic minerals

Most of the rocks available for study come from the Earth’s crust, but a few, such as eclogites, derive from the mantle.

6 Igneous Rocks and Silicate Minerals Mineralogy
网页Igneous rocks and minerals form from magma, molten rock that originates beneath Earth’s surface. Magma often collects in large magma chambers at depth in Earth, but magma is also mobile and can flow through fissures and sometimes reach the surface. Mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones contain most magmas at or near Earth’s surface.
