The type of rocks formed from molten magma is known as igneous rocks. These rocks are formed when magma (molten rock beneath the Earth's surface) or lava (molten rock on the Earth's surface) cools and solidifies. As the magma or lava cools, it undergoes a process of crystallization, forming minerals that eventually make up the igneous rock. Igneous rocks can be classified into two main types based on where they formed: intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Some common examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and pumice.
