When igneous rock forms on the Earth's surface, including on the ocean floor, it's called extrusive. It's called intrusive rock when it forms beneath Earth's surface, such as in mines.

Extrusive igneous rocks.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?
It forms an igneous rock. If it is within the Earth, then it is an intrusive igneous rock (e.g. granite) and if it is erupted onto Earth's surface then it is an extrusive igneous rock (e.g. basalt).
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 extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
What is the melted rock which flows out of the earths surface is called?
Magma, or pyroclastic flow.

Extrusive igneous rocks.
Igneous rock that forms when magma hardens beneath earths surface is called?

When magma comes up to earths surface and hardens what is it called?
It is called igneous rock.
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?

What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?
An igneous intrusion.
What are rocks that form when magma hardens beneath earths surface called?
intrusive igneous rock
When magma hardens and comes to the earths surface what is it called?
If the magma has hardened before being exposed at the surface it would be considered an intrusive igneous rock. It is hardens at or near the surface, it would be called extrusive igneous rock.
