Igneous Rocks

Question 6 • *MHS - Earth Science - S1 - CR

Which type of rock forms when molten material cools and hardens inside Earth?

Answer
A
an igneous rock
B
an extrusive rock
C
a rock with fine texture
D
a rock with small crystals

Explanation

Molten material that cools and hardens forms igneous rock. Because it cools inside Earth, it is intrusive igneous rock; extrusive rocks form when lava cools at the surface. Cooling underground is usually slow, producing larger crystals, so the choices describing fine texture or small crystals do not fit.
