Are felsic rocks usually intrusive or extrusive?
Most felsic rocks, though not all, are intrusive.
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
A type of intrusive igneous rock with larg crystals?
Basically, all intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals. Because they are intrusive, they take a long time to cool down, and so there is a lot of time for crystal growth. That said, the biggest categories of intrusive igneous rocks are: Peridotite (ultramafic) Gabbro (mafic) Diorite (Intermediate) Granite (silicic/felsic) Granite is the most common one in the continental crust.
What is the most common type of intrusive rock?
igneous rock
Types of Igneous rocks?
The most common types of igneous rocks are andesite, basalt, diorite, gabbro, granite, pegmatite, peridotite, porphyry, pumice, rhyolite, syenite, and trap.Igenous rocks are rocks that melt and become molten lava, then harden.
What are the most common intrusive and extrusive rocks?
The most common intrusive rock is granite, whereas the most common extrusive rock is basalt.
Are felsic rocks usually intrusive or extrusive?
Most felsic rocks, though not all, are intrusive.
What rocks are formed belows Earth's surface?
Most sedimentary rocks, most metamorphic rocks, and intrusive igneous rocks.
How can you determine if a igneous rock has had an intrusive or extrusive origin?
== Grain size. Most intrusive igneous rocks will have visible crystals. Crystals in most extrusive igneous rocks are not easily visible.
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock

What are two types igneous rocks?
Granite and basalt are the most common types of igneous rock. Igneous rock types, or classifications, also include those that are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of slow cooling magma below the surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed for the solidification of rapidly cooling lava at or near the surface.
What is the most common type of intrusive?
