Igneous rock derives it's name from the Latin word ignis which means fire. It is formed when the magma after volcanic eruption gets cool and solidified either on the surface of earth crust or inside the earth crust. These rocks are characterized by their hardness. These rocks undergoes no chemical weathering but exhibit very low mechanical or physical weathering may occur. Therefore, hardness is the property which can be used to identify the origin of an igneous rock.

. Why does the moon rise and set 50 minutes later each night?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The moon makes one full rotation around the earth every month (29.53 days). This means that it makes one 360 degree rotation every ~30 days, which is 12 degrees of movement per day. 

Since the earth rotates once every day, so it makes one 360 degree rotation every 24 hours.

To determine how many 'hours' later 12 degrees is, do: 12 degrees / 360 degrees * 24 hours(in a day) = .8 hours, which if you multiply by 60 you get 48 minutes.
