Any type of extrusive igneous rock. (i.e. basalt, rhyolite, andesite...)

Also, some sedimentary rocks form at the surface by the precipitation of minerals when solutions cool or the water evaporates out of them. Examples include travertine, a calcite-rich rock that forms in hot mineral spring as the water cools, and various evaporites.
