Extrusive and intrusive rocks are types of igneous rocks. Extrusive rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained textures, while intrusive rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the surface, leading to coarse-grained textures. Both types are primarily composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, and they play a crucial role in understanding volcanic activity and Earth's geological history.
