Volcanism
What is the definition of magnetic minerals?
Mineral present in molten magma.
What happens when new basalt forms along mid ocean ridges it?
The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside.
What do large crystal grains in an igneous rock indicate?
A vesicular igneous texture generally indicates rapid cooling.
Does slow cooling of molten rock lead to formations of large crystals?
Slow cooling of molten rock leads to rocks with an phaneritic texture; one with larger, visible mineral crystals.
