Igneous rock is formed when hot magma from inside the earth meets the earth's outer crust and eventually cools to form one of the three different types of rock.

Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface. Igneous rocks can form in a variety of settings, including beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) and on the Earth's surface (extrusive).

Igneous rocks from when molten rocks cool either underground or on the surface on or near a volcano. The igneous rocks that form underground can later be exposed by erosion and faulting.
