The small crystals are formed outside the volcano by the cold air... the cold air cools down the igneous rock and the crystals dont have time to join together so the are small.

Why is an igneous intrusion younger than the rocks in which it is found?

An igneous intrusion is younger because it forms after the surrounding rocks have already solidified. Magma forces its way into the existing rock layers, and once it cools and solidifies, it is considered younger than the surrounding rocks. This relationship helps geologists determine the sequence of geological events.
