I WONDER - What Can We Learn From Igneous Rocks?

The video explores how igneous rocks provide insights into Earth's history. By examining the minerals in these rocks, scientists can deduce the conditions during their formation, such as temperature and pressure. Additionally, the composition of magma and its cooling rate offer clues about geological changes over time, helping to understand the evolution of Earth's surface.

In what ways can the cooling rate of magma affect the characteristics of igneous rocks?

How does studying igneous rocks help scientists understand changes in the Earth's surface over time?
