What is the different between extrusive and intrusive rocks?
Intrusive: An intrusive igneous rock is formed from magma undergroundExtrusive: An extrusive igneous rock is formed from lava outside of the volcano.
What are the 2 kinda of igneous rock?
Extrusive and Intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed from hardened lava at the surface and Intrusive rocks are formed from magma within the Earth.
What is the difference between an intrusive and an extrusive igneous rocks?
"intrusive" means forced into something, "extrusive" means forced out onto the surface. The igneous magma reaching the surface is therefore extrusive , producing extrusive igneous rocks, and all the rest of the magma is intrusive, producing intrusive igneous rocks.
What do intrusive rock have in common with extrusive rocks?
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.

Where are the two types of igneous rocks made?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed beneath the Earth's surface through the slow cooling of magma, leading to larger crystal sizes. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed at the Earth's surface through the rapid cooling of lava, resulting in smaller crystal sizes.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
