Intrusive and extrusive rocks play crucial roles in understanding Earth's geological processes. Intrusive rocks, formed from magma that cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, provide insights into the composition of the Earth's crust and the conditions that lead to the formation of minerals. Extrusive rocks, on the other hand, result from lava that cools quickly on the surface, revealing information about volcanic activity and surface processes. Together, they help geologists reconstruct the history of volcanic activity and the formation of various geological features.
