Solution

Two examples of igneous rocks are Basalt and Granite. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock formed when lava solidifies quickly on the earth’s surface, resulting in small and smooth crystals. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock formed when magma cools slowly beneath the earth’s surface, leading to large, visible crystals.
