Overall mineral crystal depends on how fast a solution?
they depend on how fast it cools down
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
When liquid rock cools slowly will crystals be bigger or smaller then when it cools fast?
bigger
Will crystals be small if magma cools fast?
Yes they will
Which moves fast felsic lava or mafic lava?
A mafic lava flow will move faster than a felsic lava flow due to its lower viscosity. However, felsic magma tends to erupt explosively, producing fast-moving pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.

What is mafic lava like?
Fast moving-melted lava.
What is called hot fast-moving lava is called?
mafic
Suggest one factor that will affect how fast a potato cools down?
Its surface area to volume ratio.
How fast does dacite lava flow compared to mafic lava?
Dacite lava flows at speeds orders of magnitude slower than mafic lava.
What happens when magma is cooled down fast?
It will be an igneous rock
When liquid rock cools slowly will crystals be bigger or smaller then when it cools fast?
bigger
How can you tell that Mount Fuji is a composite volcano rather than a shield volcano?
The volcano is very wide it means that it has mafic magma. The composite volcanoes have mafic magma in them. When the volcano erupts the lava flows down really fast, but hardens really slowly causing the volcano to widen its width size.
When somthing is heated how does it cool down?
when something is heated the particles are moving very fast and then has it cools down (and heat releases into the air) particles begin to slow down, which means theyre cooling down.
Hot fast moving lava?
The center of the earth is the hottest, and the crust is the furthest away from that heat.
