It is actually a mineral that appears in both extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.
Intrusive: Extrusive Equivalent Granite: Rhyolite Diorite: Andesite Gabbro: Basalt
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock, formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It contains a mix of minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, biotite, hornblende, and pyroxene.
Feldspars are a group of common rock forming mineralsthat can appear in all rock types. The term 'extrusive' is usually used to describe an igneous rock that has formed on or near the surface.
Feldspar is primarily an igneous rock-forming mineral, commonly found in intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks such as granite and basalt. However, feldspar can also be present in some metamorphic rocks as a result of the recrystallization of pre-existing feldspar minerals during metamorphic processes.
Gabbro is a coarse-grained, intrusive igneous rock composed mainly of calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and sometimes olivine. Basalt, on the other hand, is a fine-grained, extrusive igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. Basalt is typically found on the Earth's surface, while gabbro is usually found beneath the surface as intrusive rock formations.

extrusive
Intrusive
Intrusive
Dacite can be both intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive dacite forms when magma solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive dacite forms when lava erupts on the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
extrusive
Extrusive. Solidifies above ground level.
Igneous rocks are classified as either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive rocks form from lava at or above the ground, and intrusive rocks form from magma below the ground. Granite is intrusive, pumice is extrusive.
extrusive
Magma can be either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive magma forms on the Earth's surface during volcanic eruptions, while intrusive magma forms below the surface and cools slowly to create intrusive igneous rocks.
