Rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down are called igneous rocks. This process occurs either beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in intrusive (or plutonic) igneous rocks, or on the surface after a volcanic eruption, leading to extrusive (or volcanic) igneous rocks. Common examples include granite for intrusive rocks and basalt for extrusive rocks. The texture and composition of igneous rocks can vary significantly based on the cooling rate and the mineral content of the molten rock.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between exclusive and intrusive rocks?
There is no such thing as an "exclusive" rock. However, there are extrusive rocks. These are divisions of igneous rocks, or rocks that form from molten rock. Intrusive rocks form from molten rock that has cooled underground. They can also be called plutonic rocks. Extrusive rocks, also called volcanic rocks, form from molten rock that has formed at or above the surface.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
How is Any rock solidified from molten material is classified as?
Any rock created by the cooling of magma or molten material is classified as an igneous rock. These rocks can either be cooled in the earth or on the earths surface. Rocks cooled inside the earth are called intrusive igneous rocks, and have large crystals. Rocks cooled on the earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. These rocks, due to faster cooling times, have very very tiny crystals.
What does igneous means?
Produced under conditions involving intense heat, igneous rock is rock formed by solidification from a molten state, especially from molten magma. an igneous rock is a lava rock that has cooled!
Is a igneous rock hot or cold?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Initially, they are hot as they form from molten material but eventually cool down to reach the temperature of their surrounding environment.
What word describes rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down?
black/grey
What describe rocks that were formed when molten rock cooled down?
black/grey
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten within the Earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks.
Why do rocks have holes in them?
In rocks such as basalt, scoria, and pumice the holes are formed from gas bubbles that were escaping from the molten rock as it cooled.
Are igneous rocks hot molten rocks that are cooled and hardened?
Yes

How are volcanic rocks produced?
A volcano is formed when the molten magma (lava) beneath the crust is forced to the surface. Volcanic rock is lava that has cooled.
What Rocks formed by molten material?
a molten rock
Are rocks formed from molten rocks are igneous rocks?

What could be an informal name for igneous rocks?
Molten lava cooled and hardened
