उत्तर

  1. Crystalline Structure: Igneous rocks are usually crystalline, meaning they are made up of interlocking mineral crystals formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

  2. Compact and Hard: They are generally very compact and hard, making them durable and resistant to weathering, which is why they are often used in building and construction.
