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.
It is not true. Extrusive rock forms on the surface from solidifying lava.
igneous Extrusive is cool on the outside of the crust and cools quickly before crystal forms igneous Intrusive is cool on the inside of the crust and cools slowly and allowing crystal to form
Igneous rocks are described as intrusive or extrusive based on formation. Intrusive rocks forms underneath the earth surface, while extrusive rocks forms on the surface of earth.
Intrusive rocks typically have more silica than extrusive rocks. This is because intrusive rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing more time for minerals rich in silica to crystallize. In contrast, extrusive rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in a rock with less time for silica-rich minerals to develop.
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.

Because intrusive rock forms as magma cools below Earth's surface. Extrusive on the other hand, forms as lava cools on Eath's surface.

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.

Porphyritic igneous rocks can display both intrusive and extrusive characteristics.

That depends on where it cools. Igneous rock forms from magma or lava (there's a difference!) cools and hardens. Extrusive igneous rock forms above the earth's crust, like when the lava from a volcanic eruption hardens. Intrusive igneous rock cools inside the earth when conditions change and the area around the magma cools allowing the magma to cool.
