Is an intrusive igneous rock fine-grained and formed when lava cools and solidifies? A) True B) False

Answer: B) False

Explanation: Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from the slow cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth’s surface. This gradual cooling process allows larger crystals to form, which typically results in a coarse-grained texture. In contrast, fine-grained igneous rocks are characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks that form when lava cools quickly on the Earth’s surface. Therefore, the statement is false.
