Here's why:
* Formation: Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma (molten rock) or lava (molten rock that has erupted onto the Earth's surface).
* Heat: The process of magma and lava cooling involves intense heat, leading to the "fiery" association.
* Appearance: Some igneous rocks, like obsidian, can have a dark, glassy appearance that evokes a sense of fire.
So, while "fiery rocks" isn't a standard geological term, it's a good way to describe igneous rocks in a more descriptive and evocative way.
