Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of liquid lava or magma A major subdivision of igneous rocks is how and where the rock forms They can be classified as intrusive or extrusive Intrusive rocks form within the Earth s crust As a result the magma cools relatively slowly and the grain of the rock is more coarse
