  • Igneous Rock Formation: Intrusive & Extrusive Processes Explained
    Here are 2 ways Igneous Rocks form:

    1. From Magma (Intrusive Igneous Rocks):

    - Process: Magma, molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, cools and solidifies slowly. This slow cooling allows for larger crystals to form.

    - Example: Granite, Gabbro

    2. From Lava (Extrusive Igneous Rocks):

    - Process: Lava, molten rock that erupts onto the Earth's surface, cools and solidifies quickly. The rapid cooling results in smaller crystals.

    - Example: Basalt, Obsidian, Pumice
