What are two types of igneous rocks?
Two types of igneous rocks are intrusive igneous rocks, which form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, and extrusive igneous rocks, which form from lava that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface.
What are types of extrusive rock?
Extrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form above earth's surface. They are usually fine-grained due to the rate in which they cool.
What are the main two types of igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are classified as either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive rocks form from lava at or above the ground, and intrusive rocks form from magma below the ground. Granite is intrusive, pumice is extrusive.

Rhyolititcen rocks.
What kind of igneous rocks for on earths surface?
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
What are two types igneous rocks?
Granite and basalt are the most common types of igneous rock. Igneous rock types, or classifications, also include those that are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of slow cooling magma below the surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed for the solidification of rapidly cooling lava at or near the surface.
What type of igneous rocks are there?
There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive (plutonic) rocks which form beneath the Earth's surface through slow cooling of magma, and extrusive (volcanic) rocks which form on or above the Earth's surface through rapid cooling of lava. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
