    Ingneous rocks refer to a type of rock that are formed from lava or molten magma. The name of these rocks depicts its forming properties as it means fire. The can be formed above the ground surface or under it. The underground igneous rocks are formed when melted rock or magma, gets trapped in small pockets. Upon cooling they become igneous rocks. On the other hand, above the ground's surface, they are formed when a volcano erupts. This makes the magma inside the earth's crust to come above the surface in the form of lava. The cooling of lava results in formation of these rocks.
