For many areas of the Earth, intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks form a significant portion of the vertical stratigraphic column. They reflect geologic energy levels which might aid in understanding Earth's short history within the Young-Earth Flood model. We propose that intrusive igneous rocks reflect high-energy heat and tectonic conditions and that their exposure provides testimony to the erosional power of the global Flood. We believe that extrusive igneous rocks can also provide information about both the passage of time and the former environmental conditions that prevailed when they were deposited. The Van Andel Creation Research Center provides a strategic location from which a great variety of these igneous outcrops can be investigated. We discuss several locations which reflect such features as exfoliating granites, flood basalts, and subaerial volcanic deposits, and explain them within the framework of the Young-Earth Flood model.
