When a volcano erupts, the lava that cools and solidifies forms igneous rock. Depending on the cooling process, it can be classified as either extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt, which cools quickly on the surface, or intrusive igneous rock, like granite, which cools slowly beneath the surface. The mineral composition and texture of the rock are influenced by the chemical makeup of the lava and the cooling rate.
