Think about this: When molten rock cools slowly, bigger crystals are created.
Then think about this: Intrusive rocks cool quite slowly because they are created in the earth's crust.
So... Intrusive igneous rocks have bigger crystals. Molten magma in the earth's crust cools slowly making rocks like granite with big crystals.
Get it? got it?
GOOD!!
Intrusive rocks form beneath the earth's surface, so they cool very slowly, which produces larger crystals.
Because intrusive magmas cool very slowly in comparison to extrusive magmas which cool far more quickly. The longer the crystals has to form the larger they will be.
because of the cooling speed

No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock.
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks have a shiny appearance because they form slowly, giving them larger crystals.

Crystals tend to be large if they form slowly either from the melt or from solution. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma forces its way between existing rocks and then gradually cools and sets. The surrounding rocks provide good insulation, so the magma cools very slowly, and big crystals, such as those in granite, are formed. Chemical sedimentation processes vary, but are usually more rapid than intrusive igneous cooling.
its igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic
Intrusive
The igneous geodes are classified as intrusive and the sedimentary geodes are classified as chemical based on properties.
by the size of the crystals, big crystals intrusive, small crystals extrusive
Yes, by heat and pressure. It could turn into two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. An intrusive igneous rock is formed by heat from a volcano. It is cooled slowly, and has big crystals. An extrusive igneous rock is formed outside a volcano. It cools slowly and has small/ not visible crystals. So basically, if the sedimentary rock gets into a volcano, it can turn into an igneous rock. Hope that answered your question.
Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
== Grain size. Most intrusive igneous rocks will have visible crystals. Crystals in most extrusive igneous rocks are not easily visible.
