    runs parallel to the geological strata. A laccolith forms a larger intrusion that causes rocks above to form domes. The landforms produced by plutons depend on the size of the intrusion and its strength relative to surrounding rocks. If it is more resistant‚ it forms uplands or elevated areas; if it is weaker‚ it may form depressions. Intrusive rocks tend to be coarse grained‚ since the magma cools slowly and has sufficient time to form large crystals. Extrusive igneous rocks cool rapidly at the earth’s
