    🔑Key Points:

    •  Igneous Rocks:
    -Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma) from beneath the earth crust.
    -They are normally crystalline in structure. 
    -They do not occur in strata nor do they contain fossils. 
    -Igneous rocks may be sub-divided on the basis of mineral composition.
    -When they contain a high proportion of silica they are said to be acid. 
    -Basic rocks contain a greater proportion of basic oxides, e.g. of iron, aluminium or magnesium, and are thus denser and darker in colour.
    -In terms of origin, there are two main classes of igneous rocks.
    -Plutonic rocks
    -Volcanic rocks.
