Igneous rock are of three types.
Plutonic: crystallization of magma at great depth, more than 35 m from earth's surface.
Hypabasal : at lower depth about 30m.
Volcanic: on or very less depth of earth's surface.

In geology, a pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock (called a plutonic rock) that is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. Plutons include batholiths, stocks, dikes, sills, laccoliths, lopoliths, and other igneous formations.
