Intrusive Rocks

“What happens when magma cools and solidifies inside the Earth’s crust?”

Magma is a powerful, hot, liquid substance. But deep in the Earth’s crust, it can cool and solidify into rock. This becomes a type of igneous rock called Intrusive Rocks. Intrusive rocks have large crystalline structure sizes that can be seen by normal human sight and a lack of flow texture.
