What igneous rock forms from below the Earth's surface?
intrusive igneous rock
What is igneous rock formed from magma?
An igneous rock formed from magma is intrusive.
Is basalt a most common intrusive rock?

Is basalt the most common intrusive rock?
Yes, Basalt is the most common extrusive rock
Is basalt intrusive?
No, basalt is an extrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms from the cooling and solidification of lava at the Earth's surface. Intrusive rocks form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface.
What is the type of igneous rock formed beneath the surface of the earth?
Igneous rock formed from cooling magma below the surface is called intrusive igneous rock.
What intrusive igneous rock has the same mineral composition as basalt?
Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock that has the same mineral composition as basalt. Both rocks are composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene minerals.
What is a black intrusive rock with small crystals?
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
What are the sub categories of igneous rocks?
The two types are extrusive igneous rock, which solidifies from magma on the surface, and intrusive igneous rock, which solidifies below the surface. Basalt is extrusive, granite is intrusive.
What type of rock can be intrusive and extrusive?
Igneous rock can be both intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools on the Earth's surface. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
