Coral is certainly NOT a rock (and even if it was, it wouldn't be igneous, which come from volcanos). Coral is: There are lots of teeny tiny creatures in the ocean called coral. They don't live long, and when they die, they leave behind their exoskeleton. This builds up over time and eventually becomes the formation commonly received as a rock.
What else can I help you with?
Coral skeletons and calcite mud make what type of rock?
igneous
Is limestone a igneous rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
When magma is cooled it becomes what?
Cooling and solidifying magma turns into igneous rock.

igneous
Is limestone a igneous rock?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
Is coral sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Coral is primarily classified as a biological material rather than a traditional rock type like sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. However, when corals die, their calcium carbonate skeletons can accumulate and contribute to sedimentary rock formations, particularly limestone. Therefore, while coral itself is not a rock, it can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks over geological time.
Is molten rock found on the surface of the earth that is called coral?
No, molten rock is not called coral. Coral is a marine organism made up of tiny, living polyps that form calcium carbonate structures, typically found in warm, shallow ocean waters. Molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface is referred to as lava, while the solidified form is known as igneous rock.
What describes rock that was formed when molten rock cooled down?
Igneous rock is formed.
Type of rock formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and becomes solid.
Is obsidian metamorphic igneous or sedimentary?
Obsidian is an igneous rock.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
When magma is cooled it becomes what?
Cooling and solidifying magma turns into igneous rock.
Is granite a igneous rock?
Yes, granite is a type of igneous rock.
Is basalt a igneous metamorphic or sedimentary rock?
Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock.
What is igneous rock formed from magma below Earth's surface is called?
It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
