Extrusive rocks, which form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, typically tend to be less dense than intrusive rocks. This is due to their fine-grained texture and the presence of gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process, which can create a lighter structure. However, the overall density can vary depending on the specific composition of the rock. Generally, basalt, a common extrusive rock, is denser than other types like pumice or obsidian.
