The main effect of extrusion is that the magma can cool much more quickly in the open air or under seawater, and there is little time for the growth of crystals.

How does extrusive differ from intrusive?

Extrusive rocks form from lava cooling on the Earth's surface, leading to rapid cooling and fine-grained texture. Intrusive rocks form from magma cooling beneath the surface, resulting in slower cooling and coarse-grained texture. This difference in cooling rates gives extrusive rocks their characteristic fine-grained appearance and intrusive rocks their coarse-grained appearance.


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.

Is magma extrusive or intrusive?

Magma can be either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive magma forms on the Earth's surface during volcanic eruptions, while intrusive magma forms below the surface and cools slowly to create intrusive igneous rocks.
