What is intrusive?
Intrusive activity is when magma in the mantle or crust starts to cool and crystallize. Igneous rock forms from the crystallization.
Magma that cools slowly forms what kind of rock?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by slow cooling magma below the earth's surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed by magma cooling quickly, at or near the surface.
What is igneous rock formed from magma below Earth's surface is called?
It is called an intrusive igneous rock.
Do intrusive igneous rocks form quickly or slowly?
Fast and slow are relative terms. If a heated igneous rock takes 3 hours to cool, is that fast or slow? During their formation, however, magma can solidify very slowly or very quickly. Rocks that have cooled quickly from magma are referred to as extrusive igneous rocks, such as obsidian and scoria. Rocks that have formed from slow cooling magma are called intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite and gabbro. The difference between the two types is in their grain size. Slow cooling magma produces large grained rock, and fast cooling magma produces fine-grained rock.
Which rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed from solidified magma below the surface of the Earth. Intrusive rock exhibits a phaneritic texture, where the individual crystal grains are visible without magnification. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, diorite, and gabbro.

Is intrusive rock is also called platonic rock?
No, intrusive rock is not also called platonic rock. Plutonic rock is another name for this type of rock, which is produced by magma.
