What term describes an igneous rock that forms quickly on earths surface from cooling lava?
This type of igneous rock is called "extrusive igneous rock." It forms when lava cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in small mineral grains that are characteristic of rocks like basalt or rhyolite.
What refers to rocks that are produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earths cools or hardens on or below Earths surface?

What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
Which type of rock forms near the Earths surface without the influence of intense heat and pressure?
Sedimentary rock forms near the Earth's surface without the influence of intense heat and pressure. It is typically composed of fragments of pre-existing rocks or organic material that have been compacted and cemented together over time.
What type of rock forms from magma?
Igneous rock forms from magma as it cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
What type of rock forms on earths surface from pieces of other rocks?

What type of igneous rock forms form lava or magma that erupts onto the earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock
What type of igneous rock hardens under the surface?
The type of igneous rock that hardens under the earths surface is called the Intrusive Igneous Rock. Intrusive Igneous Rocks are of two main types, Hypabasal and Plutonic. The plutonic forms at deeper depths.
What type of rocks make up most of Earths surface?
Sedimentary rock is the most common Earth surface rock.
