Here's why:
* Intrusive means that the molten rock (magma) intrudes into existing rock layers.
* Since they cool slowly beneath the surface, they have larger crystals and a more coarse-grained texture.
Some examples of intrusive igneous rocks include:
* Granite: A common, light-colored rock with large crystals.
* Gabbro: A dark-colored rock with large crystals.
* Diorite: A medium-colored rock with large crystals.
* Peridotite: A dark-colored rock with large crystals, often found in the Earth's mantle.
