Intrusive igneous rocks cool from magma slowly because they are buried beneath the surface, so they have large crystals. Extrusive igneous rocks cool from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so they have small crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks come from lava, forming at the surface of the Earth and cooling quickly, meaning they form very small crystals. Intrusive igneous rocks come from magma, forming deep underground and taking longer to cool, meaning they form larger crystals.
