Igneous rocks are defined as formations made from solidified lava or magma.

When lava or hot Magma reaches the surface of the earth or a water body it quickly cools down and changes it's from from a hot liquid to a solid rock.

The chemical composition of Igenous rocks can vary depending on their location, cooling time etc.

However, most Igenous rocks contain some or all of the following minerals:

1. Quartz

2. Micas

3. Amphiboles

4. Olivines

5. Pyroxenes

6. Feldspathoids

7. Feldspars
