roches éruptives

Geology
This is from a study on the environmental impact of aggregates. I'm not sure about "roches éruptives" here, but I suspect they are rocks of volcanic origin as opposed to rocks formed by mineral deposits?
Here is the sentence:
"roches massives éruptives et calcaires et roches meubles"
Many thanks

Joshua Pepper
: To the asker: please note that there is very specific vocabulary for this! Volcanic is a subcategory of igneous rock. I think igneous and magmatic are pretty much equivalent.

Volcanic rocks
I believe you are right when you say they are of volcanic origin. The word "eruptive" definitely brings to mind anything volcanic, in French or English.

: usually extrusive or volcanic (magmatic and igneous include non-eruptive (intrusive) rocks)
