What type of rock can be intrusive and extrusive?

Igneous rock can be both intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rocks form from magma that cools beneath the Earth's surface, while extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools on the Earth's surface. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.


Which igneous rocks form below earth's surface?

Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large crystals to form.


What are large grains of intrusive rock that cools down slowly?

Large grains of intrusive rock that cool down slowly are called phaneritic. This indicates that the individual mineral grains are visible to the naked eye. Examples of phaneritic rocks include granite and diorite.


What are some examples of mafic intrusive igneous rocks?

Examples of mafic intrusive igneous rocks include gabbro, diabase, and dolerite. These rocks are typically dark in color and are composed predominantly of minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar. Mafic rocks form from magma that is rich in iron and magnesium, with low silica content.


What type of rock can only form below earths surface?

Igneous rocks form below earths surface?

Igneous rocks form below Earth's surface from the cooling and solidification of magma. The rate of cooling determines the texture of the rock, with slower cooling leading to larger crystals. Examples of these rocks include granite and diorite.


Are intrusive igneous rocks heavy or light?

Intrusive rocks are light.


What type of igneous rocks are there?

There are two main types of igneous rocks: intrusive (plutonic) rocks which form beneath the Earth's surface through slow cooling of magma, and extrusive (volcanic) rocks which form on or above the Earth's surface through rapid cooling of lava. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include granite and diorite, while examples of extrusive igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.


Are intrusive rocks volcanic?

No. Volcanic rocks are extrusive. Intrusive rocks are sometimes called plutonic.
