It forms very small crystals, not visible without magnification.
Granite and basalt are made when magma cools. Granite forms from slow-cooling magma underneath the Earth's surface, while basalt forms from rapidly-cooling magma on the surface.
No."Granite is formed by the slow cooling & crystallization of magma at some depth in the earth's crust, as indicated by its characteristic phaneritic & phaneritic-porphyritic texture."-The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks & Minerals
Basalt is formed from relatively rapid cooling magma.
No. Igneous rock forms from the cooling of magma.
no . they come from rapid cooling lava
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks. The cooling process can occur either slowly beneath the surface (intrusive igneous rocks) or rapidly on the surface (extrusive igneous rocks).
TRUE, Cooling magma forms solid mineral phases
igneous
because it forms from magma cooling
solidification of molten lava
It is known as igneous rock.
Volcanic glass is the amorphous (uncrystallized) product of rapidly cooling magma.
