When magma cools under Earth's surface, it is called "intrusive igneous rock" formation. The cooling process occurs slowly, allowing large crystals to form, which is characteristic of rocks like granite. This contrasts with "extrusive igneous rock," which forms when magma erupts onto the surface and cools quickly.
