A fine grained igneous rock forms?
quick cooling
What does a fine-grass igneous rock forms?
A fine grained igneous rock forms from Lava that escapes from the earth crust to the surface and cools and solidifies rapidly.
How do fine- grained igneous rocks from?
extrusive igneous rocks =/
How fast do coarse grained and fine grained rocks cool?
If the rocks are igneous then in general:- Coarse = slowly. Fine = fast. However if the rocks are metamorphic or sedimentary then grain size has nothing to do with cooling and indicates other things.
Which the following is a fine grained light colored extrusive igneous rock?
fine grained extrusive rocks can contain Potassium and Plagioclase Feldspar, Quartz, Biotite, Amphibole, Pyroxene and Olivine. these are all the choices for every igneous rocks
Which igneous rocks are fine grained to due to fast cooling?
Extrusive igneous rocks are fine grained due to fast cooling. They cool at a faster rate than most igneous rocks.

What are two examples of fine-grained igneous rock?
Basalt and rhyolite are examples of fine-grained igneous rocks.
What are two examples of fine-grained igneous rocks?
Basalt and rhyolite are examples of fine-grained igneous rocks.
A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
Which igneous rocks are coarse grained due to slow cooling?
All molten rock is capable of cooling quickly into fine-grained rocks, but here are some common fine-grained igneous rocks: Basalt Obsidian Andesite Rhyolite Tuff (a rock made from volcanic ash)
How does fine grained igneous rock form?
when the lava cools quickley it is fine-grained

Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
What are two examples of fined grained igneous rocks?
