Answer:

The two subcategories of igneous rocks are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

Explanation:

The igneous rocks are the rocks that form from cooling magma and lava. They are the base for the formation of the two other types of rocks. The igneous rocks are divided into two subcategories, intrusive and extrusive.

The intrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form from magma that didn't manage to come out on the surface but gradually cooled off into the crust. The extrusive igneous rocks are the ones that have formed from lava that cooled off and that has come out on the surface or very close to the surface.

Because the extrusive and intrusive rocks take different times to form because of the difference in temperature and pressure on the surface and deep into the crust, they have differences in their appearance. The most noticeable difference is that the intrusive igneous rocks have coarse grains, thus large and well-defined ones, while the extrusive ones have fine grains, thus very small and almost unnoticeable.

Answer:

Greyfields are vacant commercial spaces and empty shopping malls.

Explanation:

Greyfields are basically large objects, usually, ones that were accomodating commercial entities like shopping malls. Because of multiple factors, those shopping malls and other types of commercial entities have closed, mostly because they have been outcompeted by more modern malls that were more attractive to the consumers.

Because they tend to be surrounded by asphalt, and the concrete dominates in the structure, they have been given the name ''grayfields''. Even though they stay unused in the urban landscape, they often offer every condition for a mall to be restarted, as the facilities are there, they tend to have a good location and are well connected with infrastructure.
