How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?

Physics

wariber [46]3 years ago

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.

In the diagrams, the solid green line represents Earth’s rotational axis and the dashed red line represents the magnetic field a
katovenus [111]

Explanation:

Though the diagram that is mentioned in the questions is not given. I have given general information related to the Earth's magnetic axis with respect to geographic/rotational axis.

Axis is an imaginary line around which a body rotates. The rotational axis of the Earth enters into and exits from the Earth at two points namely: North and South pole.

We know that the Earth behaves like a huge bar magnet so just like the bar magnet it must also have magnetic axis and poles. Earth has north magnetic pole and south magnetic pole. It has a strong magnetic field as well known as magnetosphere.

The interesting point about magnetic axis is that it is not same as rotational axis. In fact it makes an angle with the rotational axis. This is known as magnetic inclination. This inclination varies at different points on Earth.

Another interesting point is that the geographic and magnetic poles are opposite. That means near the geographic north pole we have the magnetic south pole and vice versa.

scZoUnD [109]

molecules of water are never destroyed - they go through various uses in a cycle of re-use. beginning in the ocean. a water molecue is attached to the wet suit of a deep sea diver. when the diver gets back on his boat, the water molecule leaves the ocean. Diver dry his suit under the sun. The water molecule is evaporated to the air. It meets up with more water molecules to form cloud. Cloud becomes rain over ground.
