  • Intrusive Rocks: Formation and Location Below Ground Explained
    Intrusive rocks form below the ground.

    Here's why:

    * Intrusive means the magma (molten rock) cooled and solidified *within* the Earth's crust.

    * Extrusive rocks, on the other hand, form when lava erupts onto the surface and cools.

    So, while you might see intrusive rocks exposed at the surface due to erosion or uplift, they originally formed underground.
