What process is required for minerals to crystallize from magma?
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
What characteristics do crystals that form in slowly cooling magma have?
They grow large.
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
How is the size of crystals in an igneous rock related to the formation of a rock?
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
Why do intrusive igneous rocks form big crystals?
When a molten magma is intruded into rocks it starts to cool slowly because it is insulated by the surrounding rocks, and the different minerals contained in the magma will crystallize out at different temperatures. Because it cools slowly it gives the crystals more time to grow large. A magma cooled quickly would have very small crystals.

The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Can minerals form the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Can Minerals form from the cooling of magma.?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
The crystals that form in slowly cooling magma are generally?
large rocks
What characteristics do crystals that form in slowly cooling magma have?
They grow large.
What is the simplified pattern that illustrates the order in which minerals crystallize from cooling magma?
when magma cools fast you get smaller crystals when it cools slow you get large crystals its very simple
How is an igneous rock's texture determined by the rate of cooling of magma?
yes, slowly cooling magma will crystallize (granite). If it cools quickly, the lava will have very small crystals and will contain air pockets (pumice, if it is cooled in chunks) or can even be very thin, like hair, very straight. (Pele's hair)
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
Is the crystal in the igneous rock large if it cools slowly from magma?
Yes. Slow cooling magma produces larger mineral crystals.
Which type of mineral formation involves the cooling of magma?
A rich assemblage of silicate-based minerals forming the igneous rocks that are solidified from magma. The faster the cooling the finer the crystals but the minerals are the same for a specific eruption or intrusion irrespective of cooling rate.
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.
