Why do most extrusive igneous rocks have small crystals?

Extrusive igneous rocks have small crystals.Why do extrusive rocks have small crystals?Extrusive rocks are formed as lava flows cool immediately after a volcano erupts. This fast cooling forces the crystals to develop in a short period of time. Hence, the individual mineral molecules only have enough time to align themselves in a small crystalline lattice. That is why an extrusive igneous rock has a very high density of tiny mineral crystals (an aphanitic texture).Why do intrusive rocks have large crystals?Intrusive rocks are formed beneath the earths surface where the temperature is high and magmatic intrusions cool over a very long period of time. Since they solidify so slowly the individual mineral molecules have much more time to arrange into very large crystals.Do all igneous rocks have crystals?Obsidian is an igneous rock that solidifies almost in an instant. This gives no time for any crystals to develop. This is why obsidian has a very smooth glass like texture.
