Overview
This presentation explores igneous rocks, starting with their definition and formation processes. We will delve into their key properties and distinguish between intrusive and extrusive types. Additionally, we will examine various igneous rock types commonly found in the Philippines, their practical applications in construction and tools, and the mining practices associated with these rocks. Finally, we will discuss the pros and cons of mining in the Philippines, highlighting its economic benefits and environmental challenges.
