What factors causes the difference in the size of crystals formed?
factors include: saturation, rate of cooling, temperature, and the crystal itself...
What factors affect the size of the crystals that form as magma cools?
it depends on how long is ban under the ground
What factors would cause a crystal to form?
weather and climate changes cause difference in size of crystals. or erosion
Does lava have large or small crystals?
Rocks formed from lava (known as extrusive igneous rocks, because the lava comes to the surface) can be any size - large or small. However, the density of the rock and the size of the crystals making up the rock is informative. Less "thick" (viscous) lava will produce higher-density rocks. The more silicon is contained in the lava/rocks, the thicker it will be. Thinner lava contains more iron and less silicon. The faster a lava cools, the smaller the crystals in the rock will be. By using crystal size in minerals, geologists can determine how fast the lava cooled, which helps to determine the type of eruption and the surface conditions when it occurred.
What do geologists observe when looking at a rock's texture?
The size of the mineral crystals which comprise the rock.
Is a factor that affects the size of minerals crystals formed in magma?
evaporation
What determines the size of a minerals crystals?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
How can you determine if an igneous rock has had an intrusive or extrusive organ?
by the size of the crystals, big crystals intrusive, small crystals extrusive
What three things determine the size of crystals?
The factor the gebulkdje and the habut
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.
Factors to consider in determining sample size?
Factors that determine sample size
What factors determine a population size?

How do geologists determine a rock's texture?
By looking at the size, shape, and pattern of the rock's grains or crystals.
What factors causes the difference in the size of crystals formed?
factors include: saturation, rate of cooling, temperature, and the crystal itself...
What is important in the formation of minerals?
Temperature, pressure, and availability of elements all have an impact on the type of mineral formed and the size of its crystals.
What is the main factor that affects the size of minerals in igneous rocks?
Crystal size is largely dependent on the time the magma takes to cool and solidify. Slow cooling equals large crystals. Fast cooling equals small crystals.
What factors affect the size of crystals as magma cools?
The lava does because it could be a good use.
