The most common extrusive igneous rock on Earth is BASALT.

Explanation:

Basalt is also the most common type of rock on the surface of the earth. The extrusive igneous rock on earth is another term used in reference to the word volcanic.

The rocks are formed when magma moves through the centre opening making its way down to earth's surface as lava. When it cools off it then takes its shape as rocks. The process is so slow that sometimes it might take many years.It primarily consists of pyroxene and plagioclase minerals

What is igneous rocks

likoan [24]

Answer: Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies. The melt originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface. Igneous rocks are divided into two groups, intrusive or extrusive, depending upon where the molten rock solidifies.

Fun fact: Igneous rock is the Latin word for fire.

Hope this helps!! ^^
