In a nutshell, to be classified as igneous, a rock must have crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock).
What Rock formed by the crystallization of magma?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of lava.Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
A laccolith is an example of a(n) igneous rock (one of the two main igneous rock groups).?

What are facts about igneous?
.The oldest rock known today is the Igneous rock. .Igneous rock can be any colour..The word "Igneous" is a Greek word that means fire.
