What else can I help you with?
Does Rhyolite cool quickly or slowly?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that has formed from rapidly cooling lava or ash.
Do large crystals form when magma and lava cool slowly?
Yes.
Why would lava cool more quickly then lava?
Magma is molten rock that is below ground level so it probably wouldn't be exposed to the open air.
Do intrusive rocks have large crystals because they cool quickly?
No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
Why doesn't water cool the lava?
Water does cool lava, but not instantly. For one thing, lava is a poor conductor of heat, so when lava erupts underwater the outside cools fairly quickly to form solid crust, but the inside remains molten. Second, the water in contact with the lava or crust (which is still quite hot) boils and forms an insulating layer of steam.
Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
What does Lava on the surface of the earth do quickly?
Lava on the earth's surface will cool quickly.
Does Rhyolite cool quickly or slowly?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that has formed from rapidly cooling lava or ash.
Does Dunite cool quickly or slowly?
slowly
Does the biotite rock cool quickly or slowly?
slowly
Why does lava take a long time to cool down?
Lava takes a long time to cool down because it has very high temperatures, sometimes exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius. The large difference in temperature between the lava and its surroundings means heat transfer happens slowly. Additionally, lava is a poor conductor of heat, further contributing to the slow cooling process.
What property of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool?
The thermal conductivity and color of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool
Does lava cool quickly and form minerals with small crystals?
Yes. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to form. If the lava cools slowly and has a low viscosity, atoms are able to move around more and form larger crystals.
What cools down lava?
Lava cools down primarily through heat loss to its surroundings, such as the surrounding air and ground. Water can also cool lava quickly by causing it to solidify rapidly. Other methods include covering the lava with ash or other insulating materials to help it cool more slowly.
Do large crystals form when magma and lava cool slowly?
Yes.
Does obsidian cool quickly or slowly?
it cool quickly but i dont know know how. i have a science homework do tomarrow and i know it cools quickly, but another question is how do you know. i cant just right that i googled it!!!! HELP
Why the molten rocks cools slowly below the earth surface as compared to surface?
Rock is an excellent insulator, meaning that it loses heat slowly and gains it slowly, so an intrusion loses its heat slowly to the country rock, and the country rock absorbs it slowly (some of it undergoing metamorphosis). This means that the rock under the surface cools very slowly. On the surface, water and air cause the heat on the surface of the rock to cool very quickly, forming an noticeable chilled margin. This means that in a lava flow, for example, the surface cools to form something that looks solid, whereas underneath it can still be flowing. Inevitably the lava underneath will cool too, and more quickly than underground, as it is nearer to the cool atmosphere.
