If underground pockets of magma __cools_______________ and solidify, _________intrusive_______ igneous rock is formed, such as granite.

The correct answer is cools and intrusive.

Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma cools slowly below the Earth's surface. The slow look cooling allows for the formation of large crystals which are visible to the naked eye, such as the large crystal seen in granite.

Extrusive igneous rock is formed when magma cools rapidly above the Earth's surface. The quickly cooling leads to the formation of very small crystals.
