Difference between Fracture (geology) and Intrusive rock

Fracture (geology) vs. Intrusive rock

A fracture is any separation in a geologic formation, such as a joint or a fault that divides the rock into two or more pieces. Intrusive rock (also called plutonic rock) is formed when magma crystallizes and solidifies underground to form intrusions, for example plutons, batholiths, dikes, sills, laccoliths, and volcanic necks.
