Extrusive igneous rocks are found on the Earth's surface primarily in volcanic regions, where magma erupts from beneath the crust and cools rapidly upon exposure to air or water. Common locations include volcanic islands, mid-ocean ridges, and areas surrounding tectonic plate boundaries. Notable examples include basalt formations, such as those found in Hawaii and Iceland, as well as pumice and obsidian deposits near active or dormant volcanoes.
