Igneous rocks are formed from magma from the process of crystallization. There are two ways to classify igneous rock: intrusive (in) and extrusive (out).
Intrusive, also known as plutonic rocks.
-crystallizes below earth's surface
-found inside the volcano
-slow cooling period
-forms into large crystals
Extrusive, also known as volcanic rocks.
-erupts onto the surface
-found outside the volcano
-fast cooling period
-forms into small crystals
