  • Extrusive Igneous Rocks: Formation & Definition
    Igneous rocks that result when lava solidifies are classified as extrusive igneous rocks.

    Here's why:

    * Extrusive means the rock formed from magma that erupted onto the Earth's surface as lava.

    * Intrusive igneous rocks, on the other hand, form when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface.
