Igneous rock is the type of rock most commonly formed from volcanoes. igneous rocks may be formed from the magma underground, or form after the magma has ejected into the air. Underground, they can be formed when magma (molten rock) is trapped in small pockets and cools slowly over time. Above ground, igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools.
Metamorphic rocks can be the result of volcanic activity, but they are not formed directly from volcanoes. Metamorphic rocks are the result of intense heat or extreme pressure transforming either sedimentary or igneous rocks, and these stresses can come from volcanic action, though that is not always the case.
no not all rocks are formed by volcanoes because what about sedimentary rocks which are the rocks formed over a long period of time by little pieces of sand and rock etc. by wind and water
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is known for having basaltic rocks, including basaltic lava flows, cinders, and ash. These rocks are primarily formed from the eruptions of the shield volcanoes in the park, such as Mauna Loa and Kilauea.
yes
Three different types of volcanoes are 1) Shield volcanoes; they are large mountains with gentle slopes. 2) Cinder cones volcanoes; they are small volcanoes made of hardened lava chunks called cinders. And the last one is 3) composite volcanoes; they are medium sized mountains made up of layers of lava that alternates with cinders. That is it.
When lava cools, it forms what is known as an extrusive igneous rock. Volcanoes are also associated with alteration from heat and fluids. Therefore you would expect to find extrusive rocks as well as altered rocks.
No. Plutonic rocks are igneous rocks that hardened underground. Rocks that form on volcanoes are volcanic rocks.
Because the lava from volcanoes form igneous rocks
Igneous Rocks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano volcanoes can be composed of a variety of igneous rocks.
igneous rocks,sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks.
Rocks formed in volcanoes from magma.
Igneous rock is found in volcanoes.

The plural possessive form of "volcanoes" is "volcanoes'".

All volcanoes produce igneous rocks.
