What else can I help you with?
Are sedimentary rocks made when molten lava cools?
No, sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and compression of sediment (such as sand, mud, and organic material) over time. Lava cools and solidifies to form igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
What does lava that cools quickly form?
fast cooling lava -small crystals or no crystals
What lava that cools quickly form?
fast cooling lava -small crystals or no crystals
When lava cools quickly large crystal form?
No. Small crystals form.
WHERE DOES LAVA COOLS QUICKLY?
Lava cools quickly when it comes into contact with water, such as in the ocean or a river, where it can solidify rapidly due to the contrast in temperature. Additionally, lava can cool quickly when it flows over ice or snow-covered terrain, causing it to solidify and form unique lava formations.
When lava cools quickly the minerals within it form small crystals?
its not really a question...
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.
When lava explodes from a volcano and cools and hardens quickly, what kind of rock does it form from?
igneus rock
If the lava cools quickly the crystal are what?
If lava cools quickly, the minerals don't have as much time to form crystals, so the crystals do not become very large. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly and have small crystals are described as "aphanitic" igneous rocks.
Lava that cools so quickly that ions do not have time to arrange into crystals will form igneous rocks with a?
glassy texture
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
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.
