When lava erupts from a volcano and cools down, it hardens and becomes an igneous rock

What determines whether igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive A. the density of the rock B. the chemical composition of the rock C. where crystals in the rock are found D. where the rock was formed?

D. where the rock was formed determines whether igneous rock is intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to develop. In contrast, extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the surface, resulting in smaller crystals. Thus, the location of formation is key to classifying igneous rocks.


What is igneous rock formed from magma below Earth's surface is called?

It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
