Amazingly, the whole of Rangitoto Island is made out of rock! It is made out of lava rock. There is no soil, little permanent water, and the black rock soars to very high temperatures. This is why people think it is amazing how plants can grow on the island.
Although commonly known as a monolith, Ayers Rock/Uluru is an inselberg, which means "island mountain", or a single large rock that rises above the surrounding plains.
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.

volcanic rock
Mostly volcanic tuff.
extrusive igneous rock (study island)
It measures half the sum of the arcs it intercepts.
I thought the same which forms mountain ranges, 'constructive' plates.Volcanic Island arcs are found along subduction zones, wich occur at convergent boundaries.
Extrusive rock of an igneous origin, formed from the cooling and solidification of lava. Typical examples include basalt, andesite and rhyolite.
