While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Igneous rock is one of the three main types of rock.
- It is formed when molten rock, known as magma or lava, cools.
- Intrusive igneous rock forms when molten rock cools deep within Earth's crust.
- Extrusive igneous rock forms when molten rock exits Earth's crust and cools on the surface.
- Acadia National Park in Maine contains examples of intrusive igneous rock.
- Crater Lake National Park in Oregon contains examples of extrusive igneous rock.
The student wants to contrast how the igneous rock at the two national parks formed. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
