Igneous rocks are formed by heat, pressure and cooling. They can be formed inside a volcano or outside a volcano. If they are formed outside the volcano the rocks are called extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt. If it is formed inside the volcano the rocks are called intrusive igneous rocks, like granite.
