Igneous Rock Facts. Enjoy our igneous rock facts for kids. Find interesting information and a range of examples that help explain what igneous rocks are and what makes them different from other kinds of rocks. Igneous rock is formed when magma cools and solidifies, it may do this above or below the Earth's surface. Magma can be forced into rocks, blown out in volcanic explosions or forced to the surface as lava. The atoms and molecules of melted minerals are what make up magma.
Underground, they are formed when magma deep within the Earth becomes trapped in small pockets. As these pockets of magma cool slowly they become igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are also formed when volcanoes erupt. Igneous rocks are formed as the lava cools above ground.The upper 16 km of the Earthâs crust is composed of 95% igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies underground.These rocks are coarse grained.xtrusive igneous rocks are formed at the crustâs surface as a result of the partial melting of rocks within the mantle and crust. Extrusive igneous rocks cool and solidify quicker than intrusive igneous rocks and are fine grained.
