The most abundant type of intrusive rock in the continental crust is
extrusive igneous
The denser oceanic plate gradually sinks into the mantle and melts.
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and crystallization of hot magma.
from slowly cooling magma
The rock is melted into magma. Magma cools and hardens is subjected to high pressure. The rock is weathered and deposited
granite
have mineral grains lined up in parallel layers
