God created earth, whisked it with tectonics, stuffed it with rocks, filled it with water, baked it with volcanoes, boiled it with geysers and topped it with mountains. Now it's our time to relish on the dish. -RP

Amygdaloidal Structure seen in Basalts Isarthuni Ratlam.
Igneous Rocks can be of two types extrusive and intrusive . Extrusive rocks come out from inside of the earth and cool down on the surface therefore has very less time for formation of crystals. As the gases stored inside the magma have no time to escape out they form voids inside the rock mass, later these voids are filled with secondary depositions forming amygdaliods and the rock thus formed is said to have a amygdaloidal structure.
