Igneous Rocks Form Below Earth's Surface - We describe these two basic types: Plutonic or intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the earth’s surface, leading to the formation of. Some form below earth's surface. Extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rock is produced when magma exits and cools above (or very near) the earth's surface. Some form on or above earth's surface. When rocks are pushed deep below earth’s surface, they can melt to form magma. Magma that reaches earth’s surface through volcanic. These are the rocks that.
