What lava that cools quickly form?
fast cooling lava -small crystals or no crystals
When lava cools quickly large crystal form?
No. Small crystals form.
Lava that cools so quickly that ions do not have time to arrange into crystals will form igneous rocks with a?
glassy texture
When lava cools quickly the minerals within it form small crystals?
its not really a question...
Does lava cool quickly and form minerals with small crystals?
Yes. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to form. If the lava cools slowly and has a low viscosity, atoms are able to move around more and form larger crystals.
When lava explodes from a volcano and cools and hardens quickly, what kind of rock does it form from?
igneus rock
If the lava cools quickly the crystal are what?
If lava cools quickly, the minerals don't have as much time to form crystals, so the crystals do not become very large. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly and have small crystals are described as "aphanitic" igneous rocks.
If lava cools to quickly that ions don't have time to arrange themselves into crystals will form what?
glassy texture, hope this helps :)
What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?
If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.
What cools quickly on the earth's surface?
it would be lava , magma is in the ground and flows on earths surface and cools to lava
Can granite form as a lava flow?
No. Granite forms when granitic magma cools deep underground. When granitic magma erupts as lava it cools more quickly and forms a rock called rhyolite.
What form when lava cool so quickly that crystals cannot form?
When lava cools extremely fast it forms volcanic glass, better known as obsidian. This often occurs when lava hits water.
