Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks originate from deep within the Earth’s crust. Igneous rocks (from the Greek word for fire) are formed when magma crystallizes and solidifies. An increase in temperature‚ a change in the composition‚ or decrease in the pressure can cause melting of these rocks in the mantle which form igneous rocks. The melt begins deep below the surface of the Earth close to active plate boundaries. As the temperate increases the rocks rise toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided

Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes

A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior
