Intrusive rocks are Igneous rocks that have been formed underground.
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of lava/magma. Igneous rocks are divided into two categories- intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive is when the magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, which causes large crystals to form. When lava cools above the Earth's surface, it is called extrusive. Extrusive rocks have smaller crystals compared to intrusive, the difference always being noticable.
What else can I help you with?
Do intrusive rocks form above or below the ground?
Intrusive rocks are formed below the ground, within the Earth's crust, through the cooling and solidification of magma.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
Is the temperature of the air high above the ground above or below 0?
The temperature of the air high above the ground can vary significantly depending on factors such as altitude and weather conditions. However, in general, temperatures tend to decrease with altitude, so it is likely that the temperature of the air high above the ground would be below 0 degrees Celsius.
What size crystal do magma make?
it depends on if it is intrusive or extrusive (intrusive is below the earth and extrusive is at or above the earth) intrusive has a bigger crystal because it takes time to cool down.
Do intrusive rocks form above or below the ground?
Intrusive rocks are formed below the ground, within the Earth's crust, through the cooling and solidification of magma.
What are the main two types of igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are classified as either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive rocks form from lava at or above the ground, and intrusive rocks form from magma below the ground. Granite is intrusive, pumice is extrusive.
Can igneous rock be formed above or below ground?
Yes, igneous rocks can be formed both above and below the ground. When molten rock solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, it forms intrusive igneous rocks like granite. If molten rock reaches the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, it forms extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
Is igneouse rocks in the ground or above?
Igneous rocks can be found both in the ground and above ground. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, which can happen below the Earth's surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
What do you call magma that has been solidified below ground?
Intrusive igneous rock.
How do intrusive rocks relate to below ground?
Intrusive rocks are formed when rock is squeezed into underground cavities in other types of rock, where it crystallizes.
Do ginger grow above or below ground?
They grow above ground. It is a stem plant.
Do sweet potatoes bear above or below ground?
Below ground
Do black panthers live above ground or below ground?
They live above ground.
Does swede grow above ground or below ground?
A Swede grows below ground.
What is an analogy for above?
above - sky as below - ground above - airplane as below - subway
What is a synomyn for lava?
A "synonym" for lava would be "molten rock". Lava is above ground. Magma is below ground.
