When melted rock material cool's on earth's surface, it makes Extrusive Igneous Rock.
Igneous rocks that form from magma that reaches the surface of the Earth are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks cool quickly and have fine-grained textures due to rapid solidification.
When magma cools you get intrusive igneous rock. Think of other ig words you know. Ignite, ignition they all mean heat. Igneous rocks are formed from rocks that have been heated so much they melt. When they cool they make new, igneous, rocks. If it's magma that cools that means it's still under the earth's crust so the igneous rock is intrusive. If it's lava that cools after flowing down a volcano it's an extrusive igneous rock that's formed.
"Igneous" refers to rocks of volcanic origin. "Extrusion" refers to the process of a material being forced through a cavity of another material. (Think "Play-Doh Fun Factory." :) ) So, extruded igneous rocks are formed when liquid magma (volcanic rock) is forced through an opening (like a volcanic vent) and then cools and hardens into volcanic rock.
igneous rock
Igneous rock is the type of rock most commonly formed from volcanoes. igneous rocks may be formed from the magma underground, or form after the magma has ejected into the air. Underground, they can be formed when magma (molten rock) is trapped in small pockets and cools slowly over time. Above ground, igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools. Metamorphic rocks can be the result of volcanic activity, but they are not formed directly from volcanoes. Metamorphic rocks are the result of intense heat or extreme pressure transforming either sedimentary or igneous rocks, and these stresses can come from volcanic action, though that is not always the case.

Extrusive igneous rocks i think are used for carving and awesome things like that!

Igneous rocks are produced when melted rock or magma from inside the Earth cools and hardens on or below the Earth's surface. These rocks can be categorized as intrusive or extrusive, depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
Igneous rocks are formed when magma crystallizes and cools into a solid form. There are two types of igneous rocks--intrusive igneous rocks and extrusive igneous rocks.Intrusive:Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when the melted rock (magma) slowly rises toward, but does not reach the surface. As these pockets of magma cool slowly underground, minerals crystallize and the magma solidifies, becoming intrusive igneous rock, like granite and gabbro.Extrusive:Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt, causing the magma to rise above the Earth's surface. When magma appears above the surface, it is called lava. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground. Examples of extrusive igneous rock are basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and scoria.igneous rocks are formed by lavaWell When melted rock cools quickly, it hardens before any mineral crystals can grow large. as a result, igneous rocks that form above ground have small or no crystals :)Igneous Rocks are made of magma and lava because it comes out of a volcanoFrom volcanoes.from lava cooling.Molten rock cools and turns solid.
If a rock has large crystals, it is an intrusive rock. Intrusive rocks form underneath the Earth's surface. Magma cools slowly so it has time to form large crystals. An example is granite, where you can see the crystals with your naked eye. Rocks that have small crystals are extrusive rocks. Extrusive rocks are ones that form from lava (blasted out of a volcano) so they cool very quickly, not allowing large crystals to form. An example is obsidian, where you cannot visibly see the small crystals; it just looks like one black, glassy rock.

igneous rock
I think it is "extrusive Igneous rock". Well, the magma,the hot liquid earth material which flows out through a vent(ways or cracks in the earth's crust), if on coming over to the surface of the earth, cools or solidifies, it is called "extrusive rock". If the magma, cools before coming over to the surface of the earth it is called "intrusive rock". the rocks formed this way are generally Igneous rocks. More detailed answer may follow.

Igneous rocks are formed from minerals such as quartz, feldspar, pyroxene, and olivine. These minerals solidify from magma or lava as it cools and hardens, resulting in the formation of igneous rocks.
Coal is not a intrusive igneous rock but is instead a form of Carbon. The carbon is heated and pressured from low grade metamorphism. Coal is formed mostly from marshes or swamps millions of years ago, think of an environment like the everglades in Florida. A igneous rock would be something like a gabbro or granite.
