Why would the crystals in an intrusive igneous rock be larger than the crystals in a chemical sedimentary rock?
Think about this: When molten rock cools slowly, bigger crystals are created.
Then think about this: Intrusive rocks cool quite slowly because they are created in the earth's crust.
So... Intrusive igneous rocks have bigger crystals. Molten magma in the earth's crust cools slowly making rocks like granite with big crystals.
Get it? got it?
GOOD!!

Why would the crystal in an intrusive igneous rock be be larger than the crystals in a chemical sedimentary rock?
Intrusive rocks form beneath the earth's surface, so they cool very slowly, which produces larger crystals.
Do intrusive rocks have large crystals because they cool quickly?
No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
Is diorite a metamorphic rock igneous rock or sedimentary rock?
Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock.
Is Granite an organic sedimentary rock?
granite is an intrusive igneous rock
Which kind of of igneous has more crystals extrusive or intrusive?
instrusive Rock

Why would the crystals in a intrusive igneous rock be larger than the crystals in a chemical sedimentary rock?
Crystals tend to be large if they form slowly either from the melt or from solution. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when magma forces its way between existing rocks and then gradually cools and sets. The surrounding rocks provide good insulation, so the magma cools very slowly, and big crystals, such as those in granite, are formed. Chemical sedimentation processes vary, but are usually more rapid than intrusive igneous cooling.
How can you determine if an igneous rock has had an intrusive or extrusive organ?
by the size of the crystals, big crystals intrusive, small crystals extrusive
What is a black intrusive rock with small crystals?
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
How can you determine if a igneous rock has had an intrusive or extrusive origin?
== Grain size. Most intrusive igneous rocks will have visible crystals. Crystals in most extrusive igneous rocks are not easily visible.
Is silica intrusive or extrusive?
The terms intrusive and extrusive apply to the formation of igneous rocks. Silica is a chemical component of a wide variety of minerals found in many types of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. All igneous rocks, both intrusive and extrusive, contain silica.
What is an example of an intrusive igneous rock with large crystals?
Porphyrite of any composition, granite, gabbro, diorite. Most intrusive igneous rocks have crystals large enough to see with the naked eye. Another term used to define an igneous rock with large crystals is coarse-grained.
What because granite cools below the surface of the Earth it is?
An igneous intrusive rock
Do all intrusive igneous rocks have crystals?
Yes. All intrusive igneours rocks and many extrusive rocks have crystals.
Can a sedimentary rock be directly transformed into a igneous rock?
Yes, by heat and pressure. It could turn into two types of igneous rocks: intrusive and extrusive. An intrusive igneous rock is formed by heat from a volcano. It is cooled slowly, and has big crystals. An extrusive igneous rock is formed outside a volcano. It cools slowly and has small/ not visible crystals. So basically, if the sedimentary rock gets into a volcano, it can turn into an igneous rock. Hope that answered your question.
