Do granite igneous rock form quickly or slowly?
Granite is the result of slow cooling processes of felsic magmas.
Does Granite cools very quickly?
No. Granite cools relatively slowly; its large crystals are one method of observing this. Granite is referred to as a "phaneritic" igneous rock, meaning that it is coarse-grained. Coarse-grained rocks cool slowly, which means that the minerals have time to form large crystals before the rock solidifies. A rock with the same composition as granite that does cool quickly is called rhyolite.
Does granite cool quickly or slowly how do you know?
Granite is formed from the slow cooling of magma.
What forms when melted granite flows onto the earths surface and quickly hardens?
It forms rhyolite.
Which weathers faster granite or marble?
Marble will weather more quickly. The mineral calcite, of which marble is composed is softer and less resistant to abrasion than granite. It is also more susceptible to chemical weathering via natural and man-caused acidic rainfall due to its chemical composition. Granite--not so susceptible.
Did granite cool slowly or quickly?
SLOWLY

How do the Pink Berets die in Hop?
They get sprayed with chocolate,which hardened very quickly.
Why would granite have larger crystals than rocks formed from lava cooled above earth surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form as the magma cooled slowly. Crystals that form on the surface are smaller because they cooled really quickly.
Is volcanic glass a Granite?
No. Granite cools from magma deep underground. Volcanic glass cools quickly at or near the surface.
Can steel be hardened or temperedby heating it till it glows red-hot and then cooling it quickly?
Yes

Which type of rock has relatively small crystals because it forms from lava cooling quickly?
granite.... nd thank u all ppl i no i m coooll
Can granite form as a lava flow?
No. Granite forms when granitic magma cools deep underground. When granitic magma erupts as lava it cools more quickly and forms a rock called rhyolite.
