What kind of crystals are formed when liquid rock cools slowly beneath the earth's surface?
Coarse large grained crystals.
Larger crystals will be formed when molten rock cools more slowly true or false?
its false
When liquid rock cools slowly will crystals be bigger or smaller then when it cools fast?
bigger
Which would have larger crystals an igneous rock formed from magma below the surface or igneous rock cooled from lava on the surface?
Crystals are generally formed when magma or molten rock cools and solidifies. Rapid cooling of the molten rock generally results in the formation of small crystals, like when magma reaches the surface. However, if they cool down slowly, then large crystals are formed. Keeping heat applied allows more growth on the crystal over time. In that logic, larger crystals grow underground.
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!
When magma cools slowly the crystals formed are generally...?
Yes it does
What kind of crystals are formed when liquid rock cools slowly beneath the earth's surface?
Coarse large grained crystals.
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
What type of crystal grain is formed when molten rock cools slowly?
Large crystals with a coarse crystal grain texture.
Larger crystals will be formed when molten rock cools more slowly true or false?
its false
What type of crystal texture is formed when magma cools slowly within warm rock underground?
As magma cools slowly, large coarse crystals form. This is described as a phaneritic texture.
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.
When liquid rock cools slowly will crystals be bigger or smaller then when it cools fast?
bigger
Magma that cools quickly does it produce rocks that are fined grained?
Generally speaking, yes. Magma that cools quickly will produce small, "fine grained" crystals.Magma which cools slowly will generally produce rocks with larger, visible to the naked eye, crystals.This is because while magma is cooling, crystals are forming. Generally, crystal which have more time to grow will be larger. Therefore, generally, the slower magma cools, the bigger the crystals will be. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to grow and are thus smaller, "fine grained".

Will larger crystals form when magma cools slowly?
yes
What are the size of granite crystals?
Small, because it cools slowly
