Why is it that some igneous rock is made of large crystals and some is made of small crystals?

An igneous rock's crystal size is dependent on how long it takes to cool from magma into a solid. Intrusive igneous rocks, the ones that solidify from magma underground, are slow to harden, giving crystals plenty of time to grow larger. Extrusive igneous rocks, formed from lava above ground, cool fairly rapidly, not allowing the crystals much time to grow in size.
