Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.
Igneous rock forms above, on, and below the surface of the Earth from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava.
When molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens, it forms igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (formed underground) or extrusive (formed on the surface), depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
No, igneous basalt forms from the cooling and solidification of molten rock below Earth's surface (intrusive) or from lava flows at the surface (extrusive). While surface weathering can alter the appearance of basalt, the formation of basalt itself is primarily a result of volcanic activity.
An igneous rock has crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock). Igneous rocks are composed of minerals.

Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.
Igneous rock forms above, on, and below the surface of the Earth from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava.
Well lava is molten rock above the surface, and there are two types of igneous rocks: extrusive (cooling above the surface) or intrusive (cooling below the surface). So any extrusive igneous rock would answer your question so here is one: Andesite.
Intrusive igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma below the surface. Granite, for example.
No, granite forms deep within the Earth's crust from the slow cooling of magma. It is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning it forms below the surface.
When molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens, it forms igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (formed underground) or extrusive (formed on the surface), depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
An igneous rock is a type of rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. It can be either intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
When molten material reaches the surface of the Earth, it can solidify into different forms depending on the speed of cooling. If it cools quickly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt. If it cools slowly underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite.
No, igneous basalt forms from the cooling and solidification of molten rock below Earth's surface (intrusive) or from lava flows at the surface (extrusive). While surface weathering can alter the appearance of basalt, the formation of basalt itself is primarily a result of volcanic activity.
