Time. the more time its under the larger the crystal gets

The size of the crystals depends on several factors.

The rate at which the magma cools, the amount of gas the magma contains, and the chemical composition of the magma all affect crystal size.

What affects the size of crystals formed from magma?

The rate at which the magma cools affects the size of the crystals that form. If it cools slowly, large crystals will form. If it cools rapidly, small crystals will form.if it takes the rock a long time to cool down the crystals will be bigger if the rock takes a short time to cool the crystals will be smaller


When magma cools too fast what happens to the size of the crystals?

When magma cools fast, crystals are small.Less time to form crsytalsWhen magma cools slow, crystals are large.More time to form crystalsWhen magma cools very fast, crystals do not form; nothing.Very less time to formWhen magma cools very slow, large crystals form; a LOT.A lot more time to form
