Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of lava/magma. (Lava is magma that has been moved from beneath the Earth's surface to above.)
They can be formed above or below the Earth's surface- when formed above is called 'Extrusive Igneous rock' and when formed below is 'Intrusive Igneous rock'. When a rock is extrusive, it forms small crystals. When it is intrusive, it causes large crystals to form.
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
Igneous rock forms from molten rock that cools and solidifies, either above or below the Earth's surface. This process can result in the formation of rocks such as basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Some types of igneous and sedimentary rocks can form on Earth's surface.

Igneous rock is formed from solidification of magma either above or below ground.
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.

Igneous rock forms above, on, and below the surface of the Earth from the cooling and solidification of magma and lava.
All igneous rock is formed from solidified magma or lava.
That depends on where it cools. Igneous rock forms from magma or lava (there's a difference!) cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock forms above the earth's crust, like when the lava from a volcanic eruption hardens. Intrusive igneous rock cools inside the earth when conditions change and the area around the magma cools allowing the magma to cool.
Igneous rock forms from the solidification of magma and lava; this can occur at or below the surface.
the type of rock formed when lava or magma cools is igneous rock..
