When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
What process is required for minerals to crystallize from magma?
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
How is the size of crystals in an igneous rock related to the formation of a rock?
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
What are the conditions which small and large crystals are likely to form?
Large crystals form when a rock cools from magma slowly whereas smaller crystale form when there is a slow rate of cooling
What is a type of crystal grain that forms when rock cools Slowly?
When molten rock cools slowly, it will have a lot of time to form crystals, so the crystal size will be quite big. Take granite, for example. With the naked eye, you can see the individual crystals. The grain size is quite large. The kind of mineral that forms is dependent on the composition of the magma.
The crystals that form in slowly cooling magma are generally?
large rocks

What process is required for minerals to crystallize from magma?
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
Is the crystal in the igneous rock large if it cools slowly from magma?
Yes. Slow cooling magma produces larger mineral crystals.
What type of crystals is formed from slow cooling?
If the magma cools down fastly the crystal size is small because the crystals do not have much time to form. If They magma slows down slowly the crystal size is big because it gives the crystals time to form! :D
Where did an igneous rock form if the rock contains large crystals?
Usually from the slow cooling of magma with a plentiful supply of material necessary for crystal growth, and space in which to grow.
How is the size of crystals in an igneous rock related to the formation of a rock?
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
What type of crystals form when magma cools very slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface?
Large crystals are formed in igneous rock that forms from slow cooling magma, deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Slow cooling of hot magma lead to the formation of what crystals?
large crystals
What are the conditions which small and large crystals are likely to form?
Large crystals form when a rock cools from magma slowly whereas smaller crystale form when there is a slow rate of cooling
Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
How are crystallization and cooling magma related?
Crystallization and cooling magma are related in the sense that cooling and crystallization occurs simultaneously. As the magma cools it crystallizes, the faster the rate of cooling the quicker crystals would develop and the slower the cooling the larger the crystals in other cases when the magma cool so rapidly crystal development may not be so prominent.
