What Igneous rocks have large crystals and form when melted rock cools slowly and hardens underneath earth's surface?
They are called intrusive igneous rocks.
What are the sub categories of igneous rocks?
The two types are extrusive igneous rock, which solidifies from magma on the surface, and intrusive igneous rock, which solidifies below the surface. Basalt is extrusive, granite is intrusive.
What type of igneous rock hardens under the surface?
The type of igneous rock that hardens under the earths surface is called the Intrusive Igneous Rock. Intrusive Igneous Rocks are of two main types, Hypabasal and Plutonic. The plutonic forms at deeper depths.
Magma that solidifies before reaching the earth's surface is called?
When magma solidifies before reaching Earth's surface it is called intrusive igneous rock, plutonic rock, a pluton. Igneous rock is formed from crystallization of molten magma.
What is a igneous rock that forms when magma solidifies beneath the earths surface?
Obsidian

When magma hardens and comes to the earths surface what is it called?

Igneous
Igneous rock form on eath surface?
Igneous rocks do form on the earths surface. A volcano erupts and the lava that comes out cools and hardens forming igneous rocks.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
