Rocks resulting from cooled-off lava include obsidian, lava rock, basalt or pumice. These are known as extrusive igneous rocks because they are formed outside of the crust. There are about 700 different types of igneous rock. More examples of igneous rocks include tuff, diorite and andesite.Here are some uses of igneous rocks: Granite is used for building and construction because of its strong properties. It is also used for head stones and kitchen counter tops.here are about 700 different types of igneous rock. More examples of igneous rocks include tuff, diorite and andesite.

The word igneous comes from the Latin for fire, and what igneous rocks have in common is that they formed by the cooling and crystallization of a melt. This material may have been lava erupted at the Earth's surface, or magma (unerupted lava) at depths of up to a few kilometers, or magma in deeper bodies (plutons).he main thing about igneous rocks is that they were once hot enough to melt. The following traits are all related to that. 1  Because their mineral grains grew together tightly as the melt cooled, they are relatively strong rocks. 2  They're made of primary minerals that are mostly black, white or gray.
