WHAT happen to density of magma after it being cooled?

As magma cools, it undergoes crystallization, forming solid minerals. This process typically increases the density of the material, as the solid crystals are denser than the molten magma. Additionally, as the temperature decreases, the volume may also slightly contract, further contributing to an increase in density. Overall, cooled magma, now referred to as igneous rock, is denser than its molten state.


Do large crystals form when magma cools?

it is more than it


How would crystals formed early from magma be larger and better formed than those formed later?

The crystals formed early by magma would not be deficient of certain elements. Once these elements are used up, they are not available in the magma to form later crystals.


Do large crystals form when magma cools quickly?

large ones


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.


Does intrusive rocks have smaller minerals than extrusive rocks?

No. Intrusive rocks have larger crystals because the magma would have taken longer to cool and solidify than extrusive magma.


What affects the size of crystals formed from magma?

The rate at which the magma cools affects the size of the crystals that form. If it cools slowly, large crystals will form. If it cools rapidly, small crystals will form.if it takes the rock a long time to cool down the crystals will be bigger if the rock takes a short time to cool the crystals will be smaller


When magma cools too fast what happens to the size of the crystals?

When magma cools fast, crystals are small.Less time to form crsytalsWhen magma cools slow, crystals are large.More time to form crystalsWhen magma cools very fast, crystals do not form; nothing.Very less time to formWhen magma cools very slow, large crystals form; a LOT.A lot more time to form


Slow cooling of hot magma lead to the formation of what crystals?

large crystals


Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?

Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.


What type of rock forms when tiny crystals in magma form?

When tiny crystals form in magma, they create an igneous rock known as "intrusive" or "plutonic" rock. This occurs when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing the crystals to grow larger, such as in granite. If the magma cools quickly on the surface, it forms "extrusive" or "volcanic" rock, like basalt, where the crystals are much smaller.


Which would have larger crystals an igneous rock formed from magma below the surface or igneous rock cooled from lava on the surface?

Crystals are generally formed when magma or molten rock cools and solidifies. Rapid cooling of the molten rock generally results in the formation of small crystals, like when magma reaches the surface. However, if they cool down slowly, then large crystals are formed. Keeping heat applied allows more growth on the crystal over time. In that logic, larger crystals grow underground.
