What is the major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes?

The major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes is volcanic eruptions. When molten rock (magma) from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface, it solidifies to form igneous rocks like basalt or rhyolite. Over time, repeated eruptions build up layers of volcanic rocks that contribute to the formation of the volcano.
