∙ 13y agoExtrusive rocks cool and crystallize on the Earth's surface or just below the surface when volcanic eruptions occur. This rapid cooling results in the formation of fine-grained rocks such as basalt and rhyolite.
Lava.
When melted rock material cool's on earth's surface, it makes Extrusive Igneous Rock.
Typically, intrusive crystals are larger than extrusive crystals because intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger crystals to form, while extrusive rocks cool quickly at the surface, producing smaller crystals.
Igneous rocks that cool from lava at Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. They have fine-grained textures due to rapid cooling. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
Extrusive igneous rocks generally have a fine grain texture. This is because they cool quickly on the Earth's surface, causing the minerals to form small crystals.
Lava.
Feldspar is not considered extrusive itself. Extrusive rocks like basalt and rhyolite can contain feldspar as a mineral component that crystallizes at the surface. Feldspar is more commonly found in intrusive rocks like granite, which cool and crystallize beneath the Earth's surface.
Intrusive igneous rocks cool beneath the crustal surface. Extrusive cool above the surface - pillow lavas cool below the sea but above the crust.
Intrusive: An intrusive igneous rock is formed from magma undergroundExtrusive: An extrusive igneous rock is formed from lava outside of the volcano.

Not all rocks do cool and crystallize, your question is meaningless.
If it finds its way dowm into the earths crust through rock cycle and then is melted and mixes together to form molten magma, it could re-erupt to the earths surface and form an extrusive igneous rock or cool and solidify within the earths crust as an intrusive igneous rock.

Extrusive igneous rocks are igneous rocks that form above earth's surface. They are usually fine-grained due to the rate in which they cool.

Igneous rocks that cool quickly on the Earth's surface are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, obsidian, and pumice. These rocks have fine-grained textures due to their rapid cooling.
