Intrusive rocks form within the crust of the Earth while extrusive rocks form on the surface.
Extrusive and Intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed from hardened lava at the surface and Intrusive rocks are formed from magma within the Earth.
Intrusive rocks are formed from magma below the surface; extrusive rocks are formed from magma on the surface of Earth.
Intrusive: An intrusive igneous rock is formed from magma undergroundExtrusive: An extrusive igneous rock is formed from lava outside of the volcano.
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
Slate is metamorphic. Extrusive and intrusive are terms used to describe igneous rocks formed at ground level or underground.
Igneous rocks are classified as either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive rocks form from lava at or above the ground, and intrusive rocks form from magma below the ground. Granite is intrusive, pumice is extrusive.
Intrusive rocks are Igneous rocks that have been formed underground. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of lava/magma. Igneous rocks are divided into two categories- intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive is when the magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, which causes large crystals to form. When lava cools above the Earth's surface, it is called extrusive. Extrusive rocks have smaller crystals compared to intrusive, the difference always being noticable.
instrusive is inside the valcano and exstrusive comes onto earth's crust
Since extrusive rocks are formed by lava (not magma), the rocks can be found easier because they are on the surface, whereas intrusive rocks are formed underground so they are either harder to get to or they are found in smaller quantities.
Sedimentary rocks are not classified by the terms intrusive or extrusive. These are terms used specifically for igneous rock classification, referring to rock that has formed from melt either below or on the surface.
intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
Porphyritic igneous rocks can display both intrusive and extrusive characteristics.
