Igneous rocks typically do not form in horizontal layers like sedimentary rocks. Instead, they can form from the cooling and solidification of magma either beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or from volcanic activity (extrusive igneous rocks). While some intrusive igneous formations can create layered structures due to the process of crystallization, the overall formation is not characterized by horizontal layering.
