What types of crystal are formed if maltan rock cools quickly?
When a magma cools/solidifies, crystals are formed. The quicker the magma cools, the tinier the crystals. A granite for example, which is formed through slow cooling in the Earth's crust, consists out of big crystals. Contrary, magma erupting at the surface (which is then called lava) cools rapidly and consists out of tiny crystals. In extreme cases, the lava cools so rapidly that the resulting rock appears glassy. Hope this helps!
When magma rises up through the sea floor rifts and cools to form ocean floor?
yes
Are sea and land breezes caused because the land heats and cools more quickly than the water?
yes
Describe how magnetism is used to support the theory of seafloor spreading?
New material is added to the sea floor when sea floor spreading occurs. When the iron cools it is magnetized by the magnetic field of the earth.
In general which is caused of a sea breeze?
The usual cause of sea breeze is the difference in specific heat capacity between land and water Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
What material cools quicker metal glass ceramic or stryofoam?
Metal.
What are some Factors that affect the climate of Atlantic Maritime?
latitude and longitude altitude ((height in elevation)) winds distance from the sea/ocean ((land heats up and cools quicker than the sea does)) and Aspect ((places{slopes} facing the sun will be warmer))
What does land do quicker than water to make local winds occur?
warms and cools
Why does the air over the sea land move towards the sea?
high preasure over the water leading to land in the opposite dirrection but not always.
How do volicanic islands delovop?
Lava goes into the sea and cools.
Why does hot water cool quicker in the first 5 minutes?
This is because of newtons law of cooling, the rate that the water cools is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the surroundings. So, as the water is hotter it cools faster, as it cools down the rate of cooling decreases.
Why does hot water in a metal mug cool down quickly?
water in a metal mug cools down quicker because the air around the mug cools the metal therefor cooling the water inside the mug
What happens when lava flows reach the sea?
When lava flows reach the sea, the lava rapidy cools to form an igneous rock.
Which is the cause of a sea breeze?
Land heats and cools more quickly than water.
What role did the Mediterranean sea play in the roman trade?
The Mediterranean Sea was a vital trade route for the Romans. Most goods arrived in Rome from the sea as transporting by sea was much cheaper and quicker than land travel.
How is ignius rock formed?
it is formed either underground or above ground. it is formed underground when hot magma is trapped and cools slowly, when it has cooled down it has then become igneous rock but on top of the ground the lava cools much quicker then what it does below the ground
