Les roches éruptives [...] sont habituellement divisées en deux grandes catégories : les roches plutoniques et les roches volcaniques, ou effusives. [...] Roches plutoniques et roches volcaniques ne se différencient pas par la nature de leurs constituants minéraux, mais par leur structure (tailles relatives et arrangements des cristaux). Les premières résultent de la cristallisation en profondeur d'un magma [...] De ce fait, les roches plutoniques, refroidies lentement, sont largement cristallisées (structure grenue où les divers minéraux sont visibles à l'oeil nu). 3, record 1, French, - roche%20plutonique
