KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. All magma develops underground, in the lower crust or upper mantle, because of the intense heat there.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The different types of rocks melt into different chemical magmas, which then is dependant on how it cools. Molten rock with different cooling histories and different chemical composition will form different igneous rocks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Igneous rock is formed by the solidification of molten magma, thrown up by the volcano. Common examples of igneous rocks are pumice stone and granite.

Detailed explanation-5: -Igneous Rocks formed when magma, the hot, molten, liquid form of rock, cools and solidifies. Magma underground cools slowly, forming large crystals. Intrusive or plutonic rocks, such as granite, form from the slow cooling of underground magma.
