igneous rockare rocks that are
fromed directly from magma or lava. They are classfied as either intrusive
or extrusive according to the conditions of their formation, interior or
exterior to the earth's surface.
intrusiveIgneous rock that cools and hardens deep
below the surface of the earth. Intrusive rocks are identified by their
course texture (large crystals)
the crystals within intrusive rocks usually have a long period of time
to form, therefore they are able to build larger crystal sturctures.

.
This rock shows obvious layers, which
are a result of the different times that sediments were deposited,
then glued together to make this rock.
