Principles of igneous and metamorphic petrology / Anthony R. Philpotts, Jay J. Ague
Igneous and metamorphic petrology represent two fundamental branches of geological science that elucidate the formation, transformation, and evolution of Earth’s solid materials. Igneous petrology ...
The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can ...
There are three types of rock found on Earth. These are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Each rock type is formed in a different way. For example, the rock malachite is mostly made of the ...

Igneous rock (igneous from Latin igneus 'fiery'), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in a terrestrial planet 's mantle or crust.
