What Has two kinds of instrusive and extrusive?

Volcanic rocks have two types: intrusive rocks and extrusive rocks. Intrusive rocks, also known as plutonic rocks, form when molten magma cools and solidifies underground. Extrusive rocks, also called volcanic rocks, form when molten lava erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.

Magma can be either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive magma forms on the Earth's surface during volcanic eruptions, while intrusive magma forms below the surface and cools slowly to create intrusive igneous rocks.


When igneous rocks from a volcanic eruption cools what does it form?

When igneous rocks from a volcanic eruption cool, they can form either intrusive or extrusive rocks. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in larger mineral grains. Examples include granite and diorite. Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in smaller mineral grains. Examples include basalt and pumice.

What is the difference between exclusive and intrusive rocks?

There is no such thing as an "exclusive" rock. However, there are extrusive rocks. These are divisions of igneous rocks, or rocks that form from molten rock. Intrusive rocks form from molten rock that has cooled underground. They can also be called plutonic rocks. Extrusive rocks, also called volcanic rocks, form from molten rock that has formed at or above the surface.
