What is the kind of igneous rock that forms below earths surface called?
Intrusive igneous rock (plutonic rock).
What is melted rock that reaches Earths surface and forms extrusive and igneous rock when it cools?
a Obsidion rock
What is the difference between igneous rock that cools above and igneous rock that cools below ground?
That depends on where it cools. Igneous rock forms from magma or lava (there's a difference!) cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock forms above the earth's crust, like when the lava from a volcanic eruption hardens. Intrusive igneous rock cools inside the earth when conditions change and the area around the magma cools allowing the magma to cool.
Why is basalt classified as an igneous rock?
Basalt is considered igneous because it forms when mafic lava cools at Earth's surface.
Is an igneous rock formed by weathering?
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material.

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.

Which igneous rock forms under the surface?
Intrusive igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma below the surface. Granite, for example.
What is a igneous rock that forms when magma solidifies beneath the earths surface?
Obsidian
