Geologic units containing Volcanic rock

Volcanic rock
A generally finely crystalline or glassy igneous rock resulting from volcanic action at or near the Earth's surface, either ejected explosively or extruded as a lava. The term includes near-surface intrusions that form a part of the volcanic structure.
This category is also used for volcanic rock (aphanitic).
Subtopics:
