Which phrase describes an extrusive rock?

Answer
A
fine texture
B
cooled slowly
C
found deep underground
D
different, easily observed minerals

Explanation

Extrusive rocks form when lava cools at or near Earth’s surface. Because it cools quickly, crystals stay small, giving the rock a fine texture. Slow cooling and large, easily observed minerals are more typical of intrusive rocks, which form underground.
