When magma rises all the way to Earth’s surface, it erupts, or is extruded, onto the surface. __________ rock is igneous rock that forms when magma cools quickly on Earth’s surface. Most rocks that form by extrusion have a finegrained texture because the crystals had little time to grow.

• Extrusive
• Intrusive

___________ rock forms when magma slowly hardens below Earth’s surface. It can take millions of years for all the magma to cool and crystallize. Rocks that form like this have a coarsegrained texture because the crystals had so much time to grow.

• Extrusive
• Intrusive
