Any rock created by the cooling of magma or molten material is classified as an igneous rock. These rocks can either be cooled in the earth or on the earths surface. Rocks cooled inside the earth are called intrusive igneous rocks, and have large crystals. Rocks cooled on the earth's surface are called extrusive igneous rocks. These rocks, due to faster cooling times, have very very tiny crystals.

What type of rocks are produced from the molten material deep beneath the surface of the Earth called magma?
Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.
