Some Igneous rocks cool off faster than others. The ones that cool off quicker takes a couple of months to cool. the ones that is slower to cool off takes several years. The faster ones cools glassy and with small grains. The slower ones cools off dull and with big grains.

∙ 11y agoThis depends on a lot of factors. Is it intrusive or extrusive? How large is it? How hot was it to start? What are it's chemical properties? A small lava flow will cool in a matter of hours, a large batholith could take millions of years.

∙ 8y agoMagma becomes igneous rock when it solidifies. Some igneous rock has only taken seconds to solidify from magma while other igneous rock, such as granite may take millions of years.

∙ 15y agoIt depends on how the rock was formed. In the case of the igneous rock obsidian, it may have taken a few minutes. In the case of granite, it may have taken hundreds of thousands of years.

How long does it take for a Igneous rock to Form?
10,000,000+ years
Where you can see igneous rock?
at places where volcanic eruptions take place
A type of intrusive igneous rock with larg crystals?
Basically, all intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals. Because they are intrusive, they take a long time to cool down, and so there is a lot of time for crystal growth. That said, the biggest categories of intrusive igneous rocks are: Peridotite (ultramafic) Gabbro (mafic) Diorite (Intermediate) Granite (silicic/felsic) Granite is the most common one in the continental crust.
What type of rock is formed when the lava cools down?
cooled lava when it melts is turned to rock if you take a malet and pound it you can see the old lave ozz out into a gush so its like that to store regular lava so its fresh like a fruit you store it in the fridge and when ou open the fridge the fruit is fresh
How do sedimentary rocks becomes igneous?
Sedimentary rocks, as a rule, must first undergo a change into a metamorphic rock (a process which can take hundred of thousands to millions of years), before they may become molten from subduction processes or contact with a body of magma, whereby the magma would cool and form an igneous rock.
If magma crystallizes before it reaches earths surface it will form a what igneous rock?
It will for an intrusive igneous rock. They usually take longer to cool and have more coarse grains.

How long does it take for a Igneous rock to Form?

How long does it take to form gabbro?
Gabbro is a ingenious rock from portions of Canada. It is estimated to be well over a billion years old and one of the oldest types of rock.
What type of rock is the original rock?
No one really know what rock came first but I would assume it would be Igneous because it came from volcanoes and those have been around a long time. Sedimentary rocks take millions of years to form, and metamorphic take long as well. The best answer would definitely have to be igneous.
What two pathways in the rock cycle could igneous rock take to become metamorphic rock?
geometry
How long does it take to form a rock?
It varies with the type of rock being formed. Some igneous rock is formed in a matter of minutes; some sedimentary rock is formed in processes requiring many millions of years.
Where you can see igneous rock?
at places where volcanic eruptions take place
What process must take place to change igneous or sedimentary rock to metamorphic rock?
Heat and pressure

What process must take place to change igneous or metamorphic rock to sedimentary rock?
All rocks on Earth take part in the "Rock Cycle". For an igneous or metamorphic rock to change into a sedimentary rock, they must undergo weathering and erosion by wind, water, and/or ice. The broken down pieces of rock (sediments) settle into layers that form a sedimentary rock.
How long does it take for an igneous rock to transform into a sediment due to weathering and eurosion in years?
It can take as many years as it needs to. It all depends on what kind of weathering occurs, and how big the grain size is.
