when rocks crysallize their are differences. on of the main differences is that the crystals in the rock grow larger than they already are. secondly there size increase from their original size.

What rock does crystallization turn into?
All Igneous rocks are crystalline, but also note that Metamorphic rocks are also often crystalline, at least to a certain extent. Both of these categories always contain some crystals.
What are the 6 igneous rocks?
i dont know what that is
Which type of rocks form by altering older rocks by intence heat or pressure or both?
help me! i want to know!
What are the three tests for finding the three properties of rocks and minerals?
i dont know i dont even know how i got on this
What are metamorphic rocks classified as?
Foliated or non-foliated.
Why do rocks cool and crystallize?
Not all rocks do cool and crystallize, your question is meaningless.
Do sedimentary rocks cool and crystallize?
No, sedimentary rocks are deposited and undergo lithofication over time. Igneous rocks cool and crystallize
Can rocks crystallize?
Yes, when exposed to salt water for a period of time, then they can crystallize.
Do felsic rocks crystallize at lower temperatures?
Yes they do.
Do rocks with higher melting points crystallize first?
yes
What term describes igneous rocks that crystallize inside the Earth?
Intrusive.
Difference between volcanic and plutonic rocks?
Plutonic rocks solidify and crystallize beneath the Earth's surface. They are composed of large crystals. Volcanic rocks solidify and crystallize on the Earth's surface or under the sea. They are made up of very small crystals.
Can Molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize be called magma?
This question is already answered. From previously existing rocks sedimentary rocks, igneous rocks, and metamorphic rocks are all formed.
Can a single magma can produce several different igneous rocks having different mineral compositions?
Yes; through the process know as fractional crystallization, which changes the composition of the magma, therefore changing the minerals that eventually crystallize from it. Fractional crystallization occurs largely from the varying temperatures at which minerals crystallize.
How are the fragments glued together in sedimentary rocks?
Minerals crystallize out from the water surrounding the grains and act as cement.
Igneous rocks that crystallize from magma and that are composed almost entirely of quartz and feldspar have a composition that is?
Granitic Composition
Why are crystals found in intrusive rocks?
due to slow cooling of magma within the earth causes the minerals to crystallize.
