Does gabbro cool fast or slow?
Slowly...
What is the rate of cooling for gabbro?
it doesn't cool
Does Rhyolite cool quickly or slowly?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that has formed from rapidly cooling lava or ash.
Do intrusive igneous rocks form quickly or slowly?
Fast and slow are relative terms. If a heated igneous rock takes 3 hours to cool, is that fast or slow? During their formation, however, magma can solidify very slowly or very quickly. Rocks that have cooled quickly from magma are referred to as extrusive igneous rocks, such as obsidian and scoria. Rocks that have formed from slow cooling magma are called intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite and gabbro. The difference between the two types is in their grain size. Slow cooling magma produces large grained rock, and fast cooling magma produces fine-grained rock.
What type of crystal grain forms when molten rocks cool slowly?
Quartz
Does gabbro cool fast or slow?

How do gabbro cool?

Does the rock gabbro cool quickly or slowly?

Does anorthosite cool fast or slow?
Slowly
Is gabbro made from magma that cooled slowly?
Gabbro is formed from slow cooling basaltic magma.
What is the rate of cooling for gabbro?
it doesn't cool
Does gabbro cool above ground or under?
Gabbro is the product of slow cooling of mafic magma below the surface.
Is gabbro an intrusive or extrusive?
Intrusive Igneous Rock , it is because gabbro has a very rough texture.Intrusive cools slowly and extrusive cools rapidly.
How is gabbro formed?
Gabbro is a medium-grained, ultramafic igneous rock. It is made up of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene. Gabbro is an intrusive igneous rock, meaning that it forms from the solidification of magma within the earth. Intrusive igneous rocks are medium- to coarse-grained because they cool slowly over time
Which igneous rock has the same chemical composition as basalt but a different grain size?
a hot dogs mother in laws mother to the horse in the backyard
Did these rocks cool relatively fast or slowly?
Since you have neglected to describe them or provide pictures, that cannot be determined.
Where did gabbro come from?
Gabbro forms from a magma that is rich in iron and magnesium, and poor in silica (quartz). The magma cools and crystallizes deep below the earth's surface. Gabbro is from the same kind of magma as basalt and diabase, but because it cools more slowly, it develops larger crystals.
