What type of rock can only form deeply underground?

Only an intrusive igneous rock forms underground, but you can argue that all metamorphism occurs underground. The issue here is that when the metamorphism is thermal, often the ground it is under has only just been formed (i.e. a lava flow). To avoid confusion, only regional metamorphism can take place underground. The rocks formed by regional metamorphism and intrusive magma cooling are rocks with crystalline texture.


How do the igneous rocks granite and diorite form?

They form in essentially the same way, the only real difference being in composition. They form as magma slowly cools deep underground, allowing large crystals to form. Granite forms from magma that is rich in silica, sodium, and potassium. Diorite forms from magma that has somewhat less silica and more iron, calcium, and magnesium.
