What else can I help you with?
Is mica extrusive?
No. A mineral is not inherently extrusive or intrusive. Mica can be found in intrisive igneous rocks and in metamorphic rocks.
Is granite plutonic or volcanic?
Granite is a plutonic rock, meaning it forms from the slow cooling and crystallization of magma underground. It is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals.
Is dunite intrusive or extrusive?
Dunite is an intrusive igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. It is primarily composed of olivine mineral and is typically found in plutonic environments.
What is a light colored plutonic rock?
Granite is a light-colored plutonic rock that is commonly found in the Earth's crust. It is composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals and forms deep within the Earth's crust through the slow cooling and solidification of magma.
How do you classify rocks were they form?
those formed deep into the earth are called Intrusive or Plutonic rocks,those formed ator near thesurface are called Extrusive or volcanic rocks

Are intrusive rocks volcanic?

What igneous rock is at the earths surface that is weathered and wears away?
Extrusive (volcanic) and exposed plutonic igneous rock.

Some igneous rocks cool at the surface and some cool underground. What are the names of these two types?
Underground = intrusive/plutonic aboveground = extrusive/volcanic
How are intrusive classified?
Intrusive features are typically classified as plutonic rocks, especially inside of a volcano. Comparatively, extrusive features are also classified as volcanic rocks.
How do you classify rocks were they form?
those formed deep into the earth are called Intrusive or Plutonic rocks,those formed ator near thesurface are called Extrusive or volcanic rocks
