What characteristics are used to classify igneous rocks?
Intrusive and extrusive factors of an igneous rock classify them. The other factors are if they are vesicular, coarse, fine grained, glassy, or very coarse
What is the most extrusive igneous rock?
Basalt is the most common extrusive igneous rock.
What kind of igneous rocks for on earths surface?
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
Which is not a common extrusive igneous rock?
There are so many rocks that can be classified as not a common extrusive igneous rock. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Extrusive rocks are formed as a result of lava solidifying.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.

What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What grain type is found in extrusive igneous rocks?
Extrusive igneous rocks are usually fine grained.
How do geologists classify igneous rock?
Geologists classify igneous rocks based on their mineral composition, texture (grain size and arrangement of crystals), and overall chemical composition. Igneous rocks are further categorized as intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface) based on where they solidified.
Is pumice a fossil?
Pumice is not a fossil because it is not an evidence of a previously living organism. Pumice is a vesicular extrusive igneous rock.
What is category of igneous extrusive rock?
Some igneous extrusive rocks include obsidian, basalt, andesite, rhyolite, scoria, pumice, basaltic glass. If you want more, go to page 6 on the Earth Science Reference Tables at the related link.
