It depends on which igneous rocks we are talking about. Igneous rocks are either formed underground from the solidification of magma, or above ground from the solidification of lava. Igneous rocks exist on and in the crust, as well as in the mantle.

Which igneous rocks form below earth's surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks form from cooled magma below Earth's surface.
What igneous rocks form below Earths surface?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks. They crystallize when magma enters an underground chamber and cools very slowly.
What igneous rocks form on or very near Earth's surface?
extrusive
Are intrusive rocks formed at Earth's surface?
No. Intrusive rocks form when liquid magma "squirts" into the crust and hardens. Igneous rocks that form at the earth's surface are called extrusive rocks.
Are all igneous rocks formed inside the earth?
Igneous rock can form inside the Earth or on its surface, from the solidification of molten rock.
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
Which igneous rocks form below earth's surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks form from cooled magma below Earth's surface.
What are igneous rocks that form above the earth called?
Extrusive (volcanic) igneous rocks.
What do igneous rocks do?
Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma) reaches the Earth's surface and cools. It then becomes an igneous rock
What do igneous rocks for from?
Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma) reaches the Earth's surface and cools. It then becomes an igneous rock
What is igneous rock formed from magma below the earth's surface called?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks (or plutonic).
What is a type of igneous rock that forms visible crystals?
Granite, gabbro, and diorite are a few igneous rocks that forms crystals. Igneous rocks that form visible crystals are intrusive igneous rocks, rocks that form under the earth's surface.
What are igneous rocks that form from magma that reaches the surface of the earth?
Volcanic (extrusive) igneous rocks. i think is this okay ? :)
What is igneous rocks that form from magma that reaches the surface of the earth?
Extrusive Igneous Rock.
What are types of extrusive igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form above earth's surface. They are usually fine-grained due to the rate in which they cool.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
What type of igneous rock forms within Earth's surface?
Intrusive igneous rocks form within the Earth
