igneous rocks that cool below the earths surface are called
intrusive
extrusive
sedimentary
metamorphic
Igneous rocks are classified based on their formation location. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. Extrusive igneous rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form from the transformation of existing rocks due to heat and pressure. Since the question specifies igneous rocks cooling below the Earth's surface, the correct term is intrusive.
