Volcanic Neck
The surrounding rock weathers more easily than the magma in the pipe. The resultant structure will first appear as a low flat protrusion which is slightly elevated from its surroundings. With additional weathering of the surrounding rock, the hardened magma may appear as a tower with possible basaltic columnar structure known as a volcanic plug or volcanic neck.
When magma comes up to Earth's surface and hardens, it is called lava.
If the magma has hardened before being exposed at the surface it would be considered an intrusive igneous rock. It is hardens at or near the surface, it would be called extrusive igneous rock.
Magma that forces its way into rocks and hardens is called intrusion.
Magma that hardens in a horizontal crack typically forms a thin, sheet-like intrusion called a sill. Sills are created when magma is injected parallel to the existing rock layers. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms a horizontal layer of igneous rock within the crack.
A mid-ocean ridge is formed when plates diverge or move apart. This is where new crust is created as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates.
a volcanic neck forms when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe and is later exposed.
When magma hardens in a volcano's pipe, the result will eventually be a volcanic neck or volcanic plug. This landform is a solidified remnant of magma that once filled the volcano's vent.

Volcanic Neck
Volcanoes are formed through a crack in the earth's surface where magma spills out from inside the earth. When lava spills out of a volcano, it eventually hardens and gives volcanoes their cone shapes.
Igneous rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens.
No. Igneous rock is simply the solid substance left when magma or lava hardens, above ground or below ground.
Volcanoes have magma.
Magma is generally associated with volcanoes
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
