What is important in the formation of minerals?
Temperature, pressure, and availability of elements all have an impact on the type of mineral formed and the size of its crystals.
How composition and texture are used to classify rock?
mineral composition is the minerals that the rocks are made of texture refers to the grain size (sediments or interlocking crystals) of the different components of that rock
How is the size of crystals in nanocrystalline metals different from the size of crystals in normal metals?
Nanocrystalline crystals are 20-100nm while normal metals is 20,000nm in diameter.
Are basalt crystals large in size?
No. Basalt generally has small crystals.
Why do rocks differ in color and texture?
Rocks can be made of assemblages of different minerals whose crystals may be of varying size. This variation in composition and grain size results in a plethora of rock types of different density, color, texture and fabric.
Is a factor that affects the size of minerals crystals formed in magma?
evaporation
What determines the size of a minerals crystals?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?
If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.
How much money do Crystals cost per pound?
It depends on the size of the crystals and the material in which the crystals. Diamonds are carbon crystals that are obviously expensive when they are large.
The texture of a rock depends on the size of its crystals?
correct! :D
How much do people sell crystals for?
Depends on the size. And of course quality.
How much are Ruby Crystals?
Depends on the size, redness, and if it is a star ruby.
The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and the shape of its what?
mineral crystals
What is important in the formation of minerals?
Temperature, pressure, and availability of elements all have an impact on the type of mineral formed and the size of its crystals.
What is the main factor that affects the size of minerals in igneous rocks?
Crystal size is largely dependent on the time the magma takes to cool and solidify. Slow cooling equals large crystals. Fast cooling equals small crystals.
The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and shape of its?
The texture depends on the size and shape of the crystals you see in it. The larger the crystals, the slower the rate of cooling. This suggests that it is an intrusive rock. Smaller crystals suggest more rapid cooling indicating that it is an extrusive rock. INTRUSIVE- cooled inside the earth and had more time to create crystals EXTRUSIVE- cooled on the surface of the earth and created small crystals
What factors affect the size of the crystals that form as magma cools?
it depends on how long is ban under the ground
