What term refers to rocks that are produced when melted rockor magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface?
The term that refers to rocks produced when melted rock or magma from inside Earth cools or hardens on or below Earth's surface is "igneous rocks." Igneous rocks are formed through the solidification of molten material, either on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks) or beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks). Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.

The substance that cools beneath the earths surface when an intrusive igneous rock forms is Magma. Magma is a molten material made up of rocks and minerals.
What igneous rock is melted rock that reaches earths surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
What is melted rock that reaches Earths surface and forms extrusive and igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
The ways Which extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks are formed?

When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earths surface it forms what kind of rock?

Extrusive igneous rocks.
What kind of igneous rock forms when lava cools at earths surface?
Such rock is extrusive igneous rock.
What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?
An igneous intrusion.
