quartz ---------------------------------- Your question is ambiguous, is it the name of a mineral you want, or the name of a magma that is cooled below the earths surface?
Quartz is OK for a mineral but if you want the 6 letter name for the rock then:- A pluton in geology is an intrusive igneous rock body that crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth.

Fine-grained igneous rock that is formed when molten rock cools quickly and soildfies on Earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock
How and where are igneous rocks formed?
Igneous rocks are formed on and below the surface of the Earth when lava or magma cools enough to crystallize.
What groups of rocks can igneous rocks be formed from?
igneous rocks are formed by magma reaching earths surface and cooling quickly to form extrusive igneous rock.another igneous rock is called intrusive igneous rock. it is formed when magma cools and hardens below the surface.
What are rocks called that are formed when magma cools below the earths surface?
Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
Is it true that igneous rocks form only beneath earths surface?
It is not true. Extrusive rock forms on the surface from solidifying lava.
Rock formed when magma cools on the earths surface?
ignious rock
What is rock that is formed when magma cools under earths surface?
Intrusive igeneus such as basalt
What rock is formed when magma cools slowly beneath earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rock.
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
What igneous rock formed from lava have a fine?
Volcanic (Extrusive) igneous rock, which are formed by lava that comes out of the earths crust, then cools and solidifies rapidly on the earths surface due to exposure to the environmental atmosphere.
How do silicate minerals form?
Most silicate minerals are formed when molten rock cools at either the earths surface, or deep underground.

When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.

Plutonic rocks, generally coarse grained, interlocking texture, high density. eg. Granite
