Answer:
The two important land forms formed by igneous rocks are- intrusive and extrusive.
Explanation:
- The igneous rocks are formed by the molten magma that erupts and flows from the volcanoes. The intrusive land forms are formed when the lava flows down below the earth surface and cool down to form rocks. These are visible during earthquake, erosion or some human activity like mining or drilling. Example of intrusive igneous land forms is Batholiths, Canyons, caves, dikes, laccoliths, stocks, sills, etc.
- The extrusive igneous land forms are formed when the molten magma flows on far off places on the surface of the earth. They cool down rapidly by atmospheric air, wind, rains or seas and ocean. Examples of extrusive igneous land forms are the Grand Canyon, cinder cone, Petrified Forest of Arizona, Basalt plateau, shield volcano, dome, ocean ridges crater and many more.
