Igneous rock- formed by volcanic activity
Intrusive igneous rock- forms below ground
A good example is granite
Granite Batholith (see book)
Extrusive igneous rocks- formed above ground
examples include Andesite, Basalt and pumice

Easily identified due to layers
examples include sandstone and limestone
Stair hole- Dorset, a hole in the limestone coast has allowed the current to erode the much softer caly deposit behind.
Processes changing landscape over time
