What size is an intrusive Igneous Rock?
It can be any size. The only specific factor of the intrusive rock is that is took a very long time to cool.
Which rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed from solidified magma below the surface of the Earth. Intrusive rock exhibits a phaneritic texture, where the individual crystal grains are visible without magnification. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, diorite, and gabbro.
What size crystal do magma make?
it depends on if it is intrusive or extrusive (intrusive is below the earth and extrusive is at or above the earth) intrusive has a bigger crystal because it takes time to cool down.
Why would the crystal in an intrusive igneous rock be be larger than the crystals in a chemical sedimentary rock?
Intrusive rocks form beneath the earth's surface, so they cool very slowly, which produces larger crystals.
Why would you except the crystals in a intrusive rock to be larger than the crystals in a extrusive rock?
Minerals formed in intrusive rock cool more slowly than extrusive rock, which is closer to the surface. The longer cooling period allows more time for crystal formation.

Which crystal can help identify as igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive?
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.

What rock has larger crystals than basalt and granite?
A pegmatite is a rock formed under certain favorable circumstances that enhance the crystal size of the rock. The crystals would be larger than those in basalt, an extrusive igneous rock, and granite, and intrusive igneous rock.
What is a factor that controls grain size in igneous rock?
It depends on if it is intrusive or extrusive. If it is an intrusive rock, it is formed when magma hardens under the earth and has a larger grain size. If it is an extrusive rock, it is formed when lava hardens on the earth's surface and has a smaller grain size.
Is graphite rock extrusive or intrusive?
GRAPHITE is a native mineral. It is metamorphic and it is effectively the highest grade of coal.
Is lava intrusive or extrusive?
A pluton is intrusive, meaning that it is below ground. Other words to describe a pluton would be batholith or laccolith.

How can you determine if an igneous rock has had an intrusive or extrusive organ?
by the size of the crystals, big crystals intrusive, small crystals extrusive
What is the difference in crystal growth between intrusive and extrusive igneous rock?
The crystal growth of intrusive igneous is substantially more so than extrusive igneous. Magma cools quicker on the earth's surface, extrusive igneous formed, as opposed to below the crust, intrusive. Therefore the longer it takes to cool the magma, the more the crystal growth.
