Explanation Volcanoes eject lava. The hot, molten material flowing on the Earth’s surface or the rock this material forms lava. Some volcanoes eject a large amount of fluid lava. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below the surface of the Earth. These are formed by the solidification of the magma. These are known as plutons. On the basis of the size and shape of the intrusive bodies, plutons are classified. According to their relationship to the surrounding rock, plutons penetrate...
