intrusive and extrusive
Large Crystals = Intrusive Small Crystals = Extrusive The name relates to where the minerals were cooled (at at what rate). In the case of intrusive igneous, the rocks were formed above Earth's surface and were thus cooled quickly and the minerals had little time to become defined. Extrusive rocks, therefore, were formed within the Earth's mantle and had a much longer time before being gathered to cool (as they slowly rose to the top).
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....
All rocks are different. Some of those could be the same. It all depends on how fast they harden. Obsidian, for an example, hardens super fast, because it is usually exposed to water and that can take anything from a few minutes to a few days. And granite, for another example hardens deep in the earth, and that takes up to millions on years, so the crystals have more time to grow.
When magma is cooled, it forms an igneous rock. When magma is cooled rapidly, that igneous rock is of the category called "extrusive" or "volcanic". When the magma is cooled very rapidly, the extrusive igneous rock formed will probably be holohyaline (glassy) in texture, or foamy like pumice.However if you take an igneous rock that is already rock and cool that very rapidly it will probably shatter owing to thermal stress. That might result in the formation of tuff.
What is the effect of location on crystal size? Label the location of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks on the diagram below. Then, illustrate the crystal size of the rock formed at that location in the appropriate callout circles.
There are two types of igneous rocks; intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed underneath the earth's surface from magma where it cools slower and develops large crystal structures. Extrusive igneous rocks are formed above the earth's surface from lava that cools quickly and creates rocks with smaller, finer crystal structures.
The longer that magma is able to cool, the larger the crystals will be. Intrusive rocks will have larger crystals than extrusive rocks. For example granite (intrusive) has larger grains than rhyolite (extrusive).
== Grain size. Most intrusive igneous rocks will have visible crystals. Crystals in most extrusive igneous rocks are not easily visible.
It depend what rock it is but extrusive rocks generally non-crystalline or have a grain size of less than 1 mm
crystal size
intrusive and extrusive
Crystal size in igneous rocks is controlled by the rate of cooling whereby the slower the rate, the larger the size of crystal.
the cooling and solidification of molten magma or lava. This process occurs either underneath the Earth's surface, resulting in intrusive igneous rocks, or on the surface, leading to extrusive igneous rocks. The rate of cooling determines the texture and crystal size of the rock, with slower cooling allowing for larger crystals to form.

Neither. Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock. Intrusive and extrusive are descriptive terms used to classify igneous rocks.
