- Pertaining to, having the nature of fire; containing fire; resembling fire; as, an igneous appearance; Resulting from, or produced by, the action of great heat; with rocks, it could also mean formed from lava/magma; as, granite and basalt are igneous rocks
- Any of the various volcanic rocks, solidified after the molten state, such as granite.
- Rocks solidified from molten magma at or below the surface of the Earth.
- A rock formed through the cooling of magma or lava. The slower the cooling, the larger the rock crystals and the harder the rock, although all igneous rocks are very hard.
- (geology): A rock which forms by the deposition of magma or lava, usually as deep intrusions into rock layers but occasionally on the surface as volcanism. Granite is the commonest intrusive igneous rock. ...
