Classifying Common Igneous Rocks
... Igneous, rocks have been melted at some time and then hardened to become solid again. When melted rock material cools and hardens, it may form crystals, depending on how fast it cools. How fast the rock material cools depends on where it cools. If melted rock cools deep within the Earth, the resulti ...
