That is called jointing, which is the natural fractures or separations in rock that create planes of weakness. Jointing can be influenced by factors such as stress, temperature, and chemical weathering.

Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
They are called glacial striations. These marks are created by the abrasion of rocks and sediment as a glacier moves over them, leaving parallel grooves and scratches on the surface of the rock.
A surface made of pebbles and small broken rocks is called a pebble or gravel surface.
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large mineral crystals to form. Examples include granite and diorite.
Igneous rocks that form when magma cools on Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic igneous rocks. They have a fine-grained texture due to their rapid cooling process.

Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
A parallel alignment of minerals that have been subjected to stress is called foliation. It creates distinctive layering or banding in rocks, such as in metamorphic rocks like schist or gneiss, where the minerals align parallel to the direction of stress.
Igneous rocks that form under the surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for the formation of large mineral crystals. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro.
There is no ladder if (of?) rocks under the earths surface, your question is meaningless.
Rocks with grains arranged in parallel layers are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks form when sediment such as sand, mud, or organic material is deposited and compacted over time. Examples include sandstone and shale.

no sometimes it cools under earth's surface. that is called intrusive igneous rocks. when it reaches earth's surface and cools its called extrusive igneous rocks.
A surface made of pebbles and small broken rocks is called a pebble or gravel surface.
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks (or plutonic).
Rocks formed from volcanic eruptions are called igneous rocks. These rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies, either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) or at the surface (extrusive). Examples include basalt, rhyolite, and pumice.
