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?...

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...
