An igneous rock formed from lava that erupts onto Earth's surface is called basalt. Basalt is typically dark in color and fine-grained due to the rapid cooling of lava when it comes into contact with air or water. It is one of the most common volcanic rocks and is often found in oceanic crust and volcanic islands.
