Rock formed inside the Earth as a result of solidification of lava is called –
Correct Answer:
(A)
Plutonic rocks
Igneous rock is formed by cooling and solidification of erupted magma. Internal Igneous rocks are of basically two types: (1) Plutonic rock (2) Hypabyssal (intermediary) rock. When Magma cools and solidifies below the Earth’s surface at great depth the ‘Plutonic rocks’ are formed. As plutonic rocks are situated deep inside the ground, it takes much time to cool and hence their crystals are of larger size.
