No. Pumice cools very rapidly above the surface. It is a glassy rock. Glass forms when lava cools too quickly for crystals to form.

Which igneous rock has larger crystal one that cooled slowly or one that cooled quickly?
i thing becaUSE THEY ARE COOLED
Why are strawberries cooled by forced air cooling?
Because they freeze really fast. When the strawberry is slowly frozen the inside of the strawberry will not freeze as quickly and could still rot in the proces of freezing.
What is the difference between pumice and granite?
Though pumice and granite are both igneous rocks, they are very different. Pumice is of extrusive origin (which means it formed when magma reached Earth's surface) and granite is of intrusive origin (which means it formed below Earth's surface). Pumice has a vesicular texture and granite is phaneritic (or coarse grained).
A slowly cooled magma will most likely result in a rock with which one What textures?
Porphyritic
Why are snails used to illutrate the earths plates?
Both move very slowly.
What happens to cooled particles inside of a solid?
the particle will vibrate more slowly around its position.
Can geothermal energy be exhausted?
yes, to a certain extend. The rock is cooled by the thermal extraction. It will slowly warm up again from radioactive decay (fission) in the earths core and crust.

What do the crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce?
A crystal is a homogeneous solid substance that has a natural geometrically regular form. The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce large grains.
Why are strawberries cooled by forced air cooling?
Because they freeze really fast. When the strawberry is slowly frozen the inside of the strawberry will not freeze as quickly and could still rot in the proces of freezing.
What would happen if a hot saturated solution was cooled slowly?
Crystallisation

What do the large crystals in this igneous rock tell about the rock?
That it cooled very slowly.
What do the large crystals in igneous rocks tell about the rock?
That it cooled very slowly.
What is the difference in appearance between igneous rocks that have cooled slowly and igneous rocks that have cooled quickly?
Igneous rocks that cooled slowly are intrusive. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly are extrusive. Intrusive rocks form larger crystals, because the crystals have a longer time to grow. Extrusive rocks have small to no crystals, because they had little or no time to grow/form.
What factor determine the size of crystals in metamorphic rocks?
Large mineral crystals that are all about the same size are formed from magma that cooled slowly inside the earth. Small mineral crystals (not identifiable without a microscope) formed from magma that cooled rapidly, on or near the surface of the earth.
A slowly cooled magma will most likely result in a rock with which one What textures?
