Abstract from DBPedia
    Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust. Typically, the melting is caused by one or more of three processes: an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Solidification into rock occurs either below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks. Igneous rock may form with crystallization to form granular, crystalline rocks, or without crystallization to form natural glasses. Igneous rocks occur in a wide range of geological settings: shields, platforms, orogens, basins, large igneous provinces, extended crust and oceanic crust.

    火成岩(かせいがん、igneous rock)は、マグマが冷えて固まった岩石(若干の異物を取り込んだものを含む)。 火成岩は大きく分けて、火山岩(マグマが急激に冷えて固まったもの)と深成岩(マグマがゆっくり冷えて固まったもの)の2つに分類される。以前はその中間として半深成岩という分類もあったが、現在では使われない。火山岩と深成岩の分類において重要なのは、冷え固まったスピードであり、どの場所で固まったかは分類に関係しない。 また、SiO2の含有量(重量%)によって、超塩基性岩・塩基性岩・中性岩・酸性岩と分けられる。苦鉄質鉱物(マフィック鉱物)と珪長質鉱物(フェルシック鉱物)の量比により、超苦鉄質岩・苦鉄質岩・・珪長質岩と分けられ、色指数により、超優黒質岩・優黒質岩・中色質岩・優白質岩と分けることもある。いずれの境界も、定義により値は異なる。
