Here's why:
* Intrusive means the rock formed beneath the Earth's surface.
* Igneous means the rock formed from cooled and solidified magma or lava.
Examples of intrusive igneous rocks include:
* Granite: A very common, light-colored rock with large crystals.
* Gabbro: A dark-colored rock with coarse grains.
* Diorite: A medium-colored rock with a mix of light and dark minerals.
Slow cooling allows for the formation of larger crystals, as the minerals have more time to grow and arrange themselves. This is a defining characteristic of intrusive igneous rocks.
