Small crystals, invisible without magnification.
There are so many rocks that can be classified as not a common extrusive igneous rock. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Extrusive rocks are formed as a result of lava solidifying.
Extrusive igneous rocks are formed
Those would be igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks.
Extrusive igneous rocks have very small crystal grains.
It is formed both- above ground (as extrusive igneous rocks) or below ground (as intrusive igneous rocks).
Extrusive igneous rocks.
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.

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.
