Sedimentary rocks are not classified by the terms intrusive or extrusive. These are terms used specifically for igneous rock classification, referring to rock that has formed from melt either below or on the surface.
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma. The resulting rock can be instrusive (magma cooling within the crust) and extrusive (lava cooling on the surface). The most common kind of rocks are Granite (intrusive) and Basalt (extrusive).
igneous rocks form within earths surface
No, intrusive rocks are typically coarse-grained because they form from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to develop. In contrast, extrusive rocks, which form from lava that cools quickly on the surface, are usually fine-grained. Thus, the grain size is a key distinguishing feature between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.
No. Extrusive igneous rock is formed at or near the surface from rapid cooling. Intrusive igneous rock is formed below the surface from slow cooling of magma.
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
extrusive because it forms on or near earths surface
intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
extrusive- when melted rock material coools on earths surface instursive-when the melt cools below earths surface
Lava.
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
Igneous rocks formed at the Earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. They form when magma cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained or glassy textures. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
No, igneous rocks can form both beneath and above the Earth's surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the surface as magma cools and solidifies underground. Extrusive igneous rocks, on the other hand, form on the Earth's surface when lava cools and solidifies quickly.
yes it is true!
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
