Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma as it cools.
Why are ingenous rocks important?
Without igneous rocks, we would not have beautiful granite countertops.
What type of rocks are black with white spots and small crystals?
Sounds like granite?

What type of rock forms when lava cools very quickly?
igneous with small crystals. Extrusive igneous rock forms from the solidification of lava. Rocks such as rhyolite, pumice, obsidian, and basalt. Igneous rocks are formed by magma (inside the earth) or lava (outside earth) that cools and hardens. Extrusive rocks are rocks thathave exited the earths surface.
