Consider the following statements:

1. Igneous rocks are primary rocks that are formed when magma cools and solidifies.

2. Granite is a type of igneous rock.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

As igneous rocks form out of magma and lava from the interior of the earth, they are known as primary rocks. The igneous rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies.

When magma, in its upward movement, cools and turns into solid form, it is called igneous rock. The process of cooling and solidification can happen in the earth’s crust or on the surface of the earth.

Igneous rocks are classified based on texture. Texture depends upon size and arrangement of grains or other physical conditions of the materials. If molten material is cooled slowly at great depths, mineral grains may be very large. Sudden cooling (at the surface) results in small and smooth grains. Intermediate conditions of cooling would result in intermediate sizes of grains making up

Granite, gabbro, pegmatite, basalt, volcanic breccia and tuff are some of the examples of igneous rocks.
