Igneous and Metamorphic Rock Notes
... Igneous rocks are formed from molten (melted) rock that has cooled and become solid. Intrusive rocks are igneous rocks that solidify (become solid rock) beneath the Earth’s surface. Extrusive rocks are igneous rocks that solidify when it comes to the surface and spills out onto the land. Metamorphic ...

Igneous rock
Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire) is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Igneous rock may form with or without crystallization, either below the surface as intrusive (plutonic) rocks or on the surface as extrusive (volcanic) rocks. This magma can be derived from partial melts of pre-existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust. Typically, the melting is caused by one or more of three processes: an increase in temperature, a decrease in pressure, or a change in composition. Over 700 types of igneous rocks have been described, most of them having formed beneath the surface of Earth's crust.
