Igneous Rocks
3
Rocks that form when natural, molten (liquid)
rock-forming material cools into a solid

Liquid rock BENEATH Earth’s surface
is called magma
5
When magma comes out onto or above Earth’s surface it becomes LAVA
6
When magma solidifies beneath Earth’s solid
surface the rocks are called INTRUSIVE
7
When lava solidifies on or above Earth’s
solid surface the resulting rock is EXTRUSIVE
8
Formation All igneous rocks are a result of the solidification of magma or lava. Solidification can also be known as CRYSTALLIZATION
