The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. All magma develops underground, in the lower crust or upper mantle, because of the intense heat there.


When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, also called volcanic, the rock cools very quickly. Crystals inside solid volcanic rocks are small because they do not have much time to form until the rock cools all the way, which stops the crystal growth.

Poland’s exports increased significantly after the country joined the _____. Catholic Church Soviet Union Warsaw Pact European U
Alex
Poland has been Catholic for a long while and since the Church is an ecclesiestical institution, it plays no big role in trade. The Soviet Union had a very protective attitude towards its products and only a few categories of them were exported; it is quite possible that exports dropped during this period. THe Warsaw Pact marked a significant counterpoint to the NATO initiative but most countries were already good trade partners to the Soviet Union (and again, the pact was not about trade). The right answer is European Union; the open borders and the influx of technology has increased the potential for exports from Poland.
