Magmatic (lava) cooling.
igneous
Igneous rocks are formed from the solidification and cooling of molten rock material known as magma or lava. When magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, it creates intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. Conversely, when lava erupts and cools quickly on the Earth's surface, it forms extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt. The texture and mineral composition of igneous rocks depend on the cooling rate and the chemical composition of the molten material.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. The cooling process can occur either slowly beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or rapidly on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
Igneous rock forms due to the heating and melting of pre-existing rocks, followed by cooling and solidification of the molten material, known as magma or lava. When this process occurs beneath the Earth's surface, it creates intrusive igneous rocks, while cooling at the surface results in extrusive igneous rocks. Examples include granite (intrusive) and basalt (extrusive).
Igneous rock forms from the cooling and solidification of molten material called magma or lava. When magma cools beneath the Earth's surface, it creates intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. Conversely, when lava erupts and cools on the surface, it results in extrusive igneous rocks, like basalt. The texture and mineral composition of these rocks depend on the cooling rate and the chemical makeup of the molten material.
igneous rocks
Igneous rocks are formed as the result of cooling magmas.
igneous
Extrusive igneous rocks are fine grained due to fast cooling. They cool at a faster rate than most igneous rocks.

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.

Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
