+**Intrusive Rock**

+Intrusive rock forms when molten [Magma](/wiki/magma) cools and solidifies slowly beneath the Earth's surface. This gradual process allows for the growth of large, distinct mineral crystals, a defining characteristic of these subterranean [Igneous Rock](/wiki/igneous_rock) formations.
