Intrusive rocks are formed below the ground, within the Earth's crust, through the cooling and solidification of magma.
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
Intrusive rocks are Igneous rocks that have been formed underground. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of lava/magma. Igneous rocks are divided into two categories- intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive is when the magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, which causes large crystals to form. When lava cools above the Earth's surface, it is called extrusive. Extrusive rocks have smaller crystals compared to intrusive, the difference always being noticable.
When magma reaches the exterior of the Earth's crust, it solidifies and cools, forming igneous rocks such as basalt or granite. This process can occur both above ground, creating volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive igneous rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are formed below ground through the process of metamorphism, where existing rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures causing their mineral structure to change. This process typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust.
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 rocks have smaller crystals compared to intrusive, the difference always being noticable.
Intrusive rocks are formed when rock is squeezed into underground cavities in other types of rock, where it crystallizes.
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.
Igneous rocks that form below ground (intrusive) have larger crystals due to slower cooling, whereas igneous rocks that form above ground (extrusive) have smaller crystals or a glassy texture due to rapid cooling. Additionally, intrusive rocks may show visible layering or bands, while extrusive rocks typically have a more uniform appearance.
Rocks can be classified as either igneous or intrusive, but not both. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma (molten rock) above or below the Earth's surface. Intrusive rocks specifically form from magma that cools and solidifies underground, beneath the Earth's surface.
Sedimentary rocks are not intrusive. Igneous rocks are though. See the link below.

Intrusive: An intrusive igneous rock is formed from magma undergroundExtrusive: An extrusive igneous rock is formed from lava outside of the volcano.
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.
