A. Intrusive Rocks – Form when magma or molten rock beneath Earth’s surface cools & crystalizes B. Extrusive Rocks – Form when lava on Earth’s surface cools and crystalizes

GRANITE: Intrusive Rock

Extrusive Ejected Material Solidifies in the air
8
A. Intrusive Igneous Rock – Cools slowly allowing for large crystal formation (coarse grained). B. Extrusive Igneous Rock – Cools quickly and does not allow time for crystallization (fine grained)
11
A. Mafic – Contains many dark colored minerals. High non- silicate and low silicate compositions B. Felsic – Contains many light colored minerals. High silicate composition.
14
A. Intrusive – Batholith, pluton, stock, sill, laccolith, dike, volcanic pipes. B. Extrusive – All volcano types, lava flows, pyroclastic ejected material.
