During volcanic eruptions, lava and other volcanic materials thrown on to the earth’s surface. The lava cools and solidify to form extrusive/volcanic igneous rocks. The rate of cooling and solidification is very rapid due to presence of low temperature such that the rocks formed will have minerals with fine textured and small crystals.
