Igneous Rocks and the Rock Cycle

By Joanne Mattern

The word "igneous" comes from the Latin word that means "made from fire." Igneous rocks have this name because they are formed from hot liquid magma. This book chronicles the rock's stages of development in conjunction with the rock cycle, while providing interesting, little known facts about its formation and importance to our environment.
