Atomic Theory proposes that all matter iscomposed of the atoms of a$out (( differentchemical elements. It further proposes that
chemical compounds are formed $y the com$inationof the atoms of different chemical elements.

8hen magma cools to a solid it $ecomes an igneousrock.
?olten rock is called magma.
Any e!isting rock @ igneous, metamorphic orsedimentary ; can $e su$ected to enough heat and orpressure causing it to melt.
he kind of igneous rock formed depends on "hat"as melted and ho" it cooled.
Igneous rocks are classified $ased on theirmineral composition and te!ture.
