Question

1. which is an explanation for granite being called an intrusive igneous rock?

magma cools below earths surface.
magma cools above earths surface.
lava cools very slowly below earths surface.
lava cools very fast above earths surface.

Explanation:

Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools and solidifies below Earth's surface. Granite is a classic intrusive rock. Lava refers to magma that reaches the surface, so options mentioning lava are incorrect. Cooling above the surface describes extrusive rocks, not intrusive ones.

Answer:

A. Magma cools below earth's surface.
