   Igneous
   igneous rocks are new rocks, formed when hot magma rises up from inside the Earth and solidifies. Intrusive igneous rocks do not reach the surface, but form bodies of rock within the crust. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed when the magma breaks through the crust and erupts on to the surface of the Earth. Once magma has reached the surface of the Earth it becomes known as lava - these rocks, such as basalt, can form volcanoes
