The most common plutonic igneous rock is granite. There are various types of granite based on whether the rock cooled above or below the surface of the earth. The major differences among these types of granitic rock is their crystalline structure.
Plutonic Ingenious Rocks.
The type of igneous rock that hardens under the earths surface is called the Intrusive Igneous Rock. Intrusive Igneous Rocks are of two main types, Hypabasal and Plutonic. The plutonic forms at deeper depths.
Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.
Igneous rock is one of the three main rock types based on the method of its formation. It is also referred to as plutonic or volcanic rock depending on where it formed. In a nutshell, to be classified as igneous, a rock must have crystallized and solidified from molten rock (magma) either below ground (intrusive igneous rock) or at or near the surface (extrusive igneous rock).
IT IS CALLED INTRUSIVE (PLUTONIC) ROCKS WHICH ARE BELOW THE SURFACE. iT IS WHEN MAGMA COOLS AND SOLIDIFIES WITHIN THE EARTH.They are called intrusive igneous rocks or plutonic rocks/plutons.
Plutonic Ingenious Rocks.
Intrusive igneous rock (plutonic rock).
It is referred to as intrusive igneous rock or plutonic rock.

Extrusive (volcanic) and exposed plutonic igneous rock.
It is referred to as intrusive igneous rock or plutonic rock.
Granite is an igneous rock. It is not considered a volcanic rock, but a plutonic rock.
Such rock is referred to as plutonic igneous rock if it is part of a large solidified mass of magma at large depths in the crust, or as intrusive igneous rock if simply solidified at some depth within the crust. Plutonic igneous rock is therefore a type of intrusive igneous rock.
Igneous rocks can be found in the mountains, which are partially composed of Precambrian plutonic rock.
Cooled magma is turned into a plutonic igneous rock, eg. Granite (you can see the difference between plutonic and volcanic because plutonic have large crystal particles)
