I WONDER - How Are Igneous Rocks Formed?
This video is answering the question of how are igneous rocks formed.
Professor Dave Explains
Origin of Igneous Rocks
With minerals better understood, it's time to discuss rocks. The first type of rock we will discuss is igneous rock. These rocks are formed when magma/lava crystallizes. But how does the mantle rock melt to form magma in the first place?...
Professor Dave Explains
Classification of Igneous Rocks: Intrusive vs. Extrusive
Now that we know how igneous rocks form, what are the types of igneous rocks? This depends on precisely where they form, and we can call them either intrusive or extrusive. These can also be called either plutonic or volcanic. What do...
