Move edit

This article should be moved to "Volcanic rock". Volcanic rock must be an article and not redirect page to "Igneous rock". These redirections, which are many, are really disturbing and sometimes very wrong. I hope that they are intended to be temporary solution. Siim 11:18, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

The redirections represent the (somewhat haphazard) development or growth of wikipedia and are always a temporary solution in this dynamic system. I feel that this article should remain, but agree that volcanic rock should be developed as an independent article rather than the current redirect. OK - now it is on my to do list - someday :-) Vsmith 12:32, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
I wrote an article volcanic rock now. It needs lots of editing I suppose. Siim 14:37, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
Good start. I fixed a bit - needs expansion now. Vsmith 16:51, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply
i think that this article should be merged. it is very small, and extrusive rocks=volcanic rocks. it has little information and should follow the example of the plutonic/intrusive rocks articles.--58.107.30.145 13:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
"extrusive rocks=volcanic rocks" wrong... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.62.211 (talk) 08:26, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Add Info edit

There could be more discussion on the formation and characteristics of extrusive igneous rocks, including its chemical composition and the crystallization process. Other additional information could include a comparison of the different types of extrusive igneous rocks and a more detailed explanation concerning the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Furthermore, since the article has added a picture on the classification of igneous rocks, an analysis of this information would allow the reader to better understand that picture.
