The Igneous rock formed when magma cools are;
1. Extrusive (Volcanic) Igneous Rock; which are igneous rocks formed when magma cools outside the earths crust. The texture of of extrusive igneous rock is fine grained.
2. Intrusive (Plutonic) Igneous Rock; these are igneous rocks formed by gradual cooling of magma within the earths crust. The texture is coarse grained.

The term for rock formed from magma or lava is igneous rock.
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of lava.Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or on the surface (extrusive). Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools slowly underground, while extrusive igneous rocks are formed from lava that cools quickly on the surface.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. The cooling process can occur either slowly beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or rapidly on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).

Igneous Rocks - Rocks formed by crystallization from a melt (magma)
The term for rock formed from magma or lava is igneous rock.
Rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks). As the molten magma cools, it crystallizes and hardens into solid rocks like granite or basalt.
Intrusive igneous rocks .
Rocks formed in volcanoes from magma.
No. Igneous rock is formed from cooling lava or magma.
Igneous rock is formed when lava or magma cools.
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by magma. Magma can also cause the contact metamorphism of rock that it is intruded into.
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of lava.Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma.
Igneous rocks are formed underground from a very hot substance called magma. As magma cools and hardens under extreme pressure, it forms igneous rocks.
