Large crystals form when a rock cools from magma slowly whereas smaller crystale form when there is a slow rate of cooling

Do large well -formed crystals cool quickly?
Large, well formed crystals form in solutions that cool rapidly. When solutions cool slowly, crystals are more likely to nucleate in higher numbers at the same time, leading to many very small and irregular shaped crystals.
What factor determines if an igneous rock has no crystals small crystals or large crystals?
it depends on the heat, if it cool very quick then it has small crystals but if it cool very slowly than it is bigger the slower the cooling period the bigger the crystals
What do large jelly crystals do that small jelly crystals don't?
there bigger than small ones and they devolve faster They help plants while the small ones have no water to help the plants
When lava cools quickly large crystal form?
No. Small crystals form.
Explain pegmatite is coarse grained with large crystals basalt is fine grained with small crystals and obsidian has no crystals?
Crystal size in these rock types is determined by their rate of cooling. Pegmatites have large crystals due to very slow cooling. Obsidian has microscopic crystals due to almost instantaneous cooling.
Are large crystals found in diorite?
diorite crystals are large and andesite crystals are small
Do igneous rocks have small crystals large crystals or no crystals?
It depends on the type of igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks such as granite have large crystals, extrusive igneous rocks may have small crystals as in basalt or no crystals as in pumice.
A rock with large crystals surrounded by small crystals is called?
porphyry
Are basalt crystals large in size?
No. Basalt generally has small crystals.
Does pumice have large or small crystals?
Pumice does not have crystals. It is made of glass.
Granite have small or large grains?
Large grains, and crystals
What are Igneous rocks that have large crystals and small crystals?
Such rocks are called porphyritic.
A rock with large crystals surrounded by small crystals called?
It's an igneous porphyry.
Is marble made of small or large crystals?
small, rapid colling
Why should large crystals of sodium chloride be used instead of small crystals?
What is the context? Is this a lab or what?

How can small sugar crystals be used to form large sugar crystals?
Small crystals act as "seeds" and facilitate the formation of crystal growth, especially in super-saturated solutions.
