Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rocks are rocks of cooled magma. Igneous coming from the Latin word ignis which means fire. There are 2 different types of them. Intrusive and extrusive.

Intrusive cool slowly without ever reaching the surface. They have large crystals. Extrusive meaning that they're lava that's cooled. They have smaller crystals.
