igneous rocks
When melted rock cools and hardens, it forms igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock that forms depends on the cooling rate and mineral composition of the molten rock. Some common examples include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
igneous rock.
When melted rock cools, it solidifies into igneous rock. This process can result in the formation of crystals within the rock depending on the rate at which it cools. The cooling process can also lead to the creation of different textures and structures in the igneous rock.
Intrusive rock. The prefix in-helps to remember that it is made inside the earth.
An igneous rock called a "magma" forms from the melting and subsequent cooling of an older rock. Examples include granite formed from the cooling of melted continental crust or basalt formed from the melting of oceanic crust.

Igneous
Igneous rock forms when melted rock (magma) from inside the Earth cools.
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Sand
Igneous rock forms when melted rock from inside the Earth cools and hardens. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rock, or at the surface, forming extrusive igneous rock. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
a Obsidion rock

When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.
