There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive (plutonic) rocks which form beneath the Earth's surface through slow cooling of magma, and extrusive (volcanic) rocks which form on or above the Earth's surface through rapid cooling of lava. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
