By TOO fast I assume you are asking why the glass breaks?

Cooling causes the molecules in the glass to loose energy. When hot the atoms are forced farther apart. As they cool they come closer together. This causes mechanical stress. If the difference in stress of adjacent areas becomes too great a fracture between the two areas occur.

Heat causes glass to expand. If one section of glass is heated while another is not. The expansion of the glass can create enough pressure inside to break the glass.

It will be smaller than when a crystal slowly cools, because if it cools rapidly, the crystals have less time to cool

cools slowly.


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!


What cools rapidly at night desert or a swampland?

Due to lack of humidity and cloud cover, the desert cools rapidly after sunset.


What happens when a warm air mass rises quickly and cools rapidly?

The water vapor will condense and with sufficient particle matter it will form clouds and possibly precipitation.

Fine crystal grain.


Overall mineral crystal size depends on how fast a solution?

they depend on how fast it cools down


What crystal large or small can help identify an igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive?

As a general rule extrusive igneous rock crystals are very small, often microscopic, as the rock cools very rapidly. Conversely intrusive magma often cools so slowly that sizeable crystals can develop.


What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes minutes?

both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.


What effect does the the the rate that magma cools have on crystal formation?

if lava cools slowly, it will have a lot of crystals. When it cools fast, there will be little to no crystals what s ever.
