Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earths's surface are called what igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
What kind of rock does magma form when it hardens?
If the magma cools on the surface of the crust, it is called extrusive igneous rock, such as pumice, basalt or rhyolite. If the magma cools inside the crust, it is called intrusive igneous rock, such as granite.
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 do Ãgneous rocks form from?
Igneous rocks [fire rocks] are formed either underground or above ground. Underground they are formed when the melted rock [called magma] deep within the earth becomes trapped in small pockets, and as these pockets of magma cool slowly underground the magma becomes igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt causing the magma to rise above the earth's surface. When magma appears above the earth, it is called lava. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground. Examples of igneous rocks are granite, scoria, pumice, obsidian and basalt.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earths's surface are called what igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks.
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma?
Rocks formed from magma are igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava at or near the surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma below the surface.
Which igneous rocks form below earth's surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks form from cooled magma below Earth's surface.
What is igneous rock formed from magma below the earth's surface called?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks (or plutonic).
Where does in intrusive igneous rock form?
formed when molten rocks called magma becomes trapped in small pockets . As these pockets of magma cools slowly underground, the magma becomes igneous rocks

Magma cools and solidifies to form what rocks?
igneous rocks

What igneous rocks form below Earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks. They crystallize when magma enters an underground chamber and cools very slowly.
How does magma form into ignous rocks?
igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma.
