What is a type of igneous rock that forms visible crystals?
Granite, gabbro, and diorite are a few igneous rocks that forms crystals. Igneous rocks that form visible crystals are intrusive igneous rocks, rocks that form under the earth's surface.
Are intrusive rocks rough and coarse?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from slow cooling of magma. The additional time spent in a liquid state allows for the creation of larger mineral crystals. A rock with larger mineral crystals is said to have a coarse texture.
What rock type is formed from the slow cooling of magma under the earths surface?
Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.
What type of crystals form in intrusive rocks?
large,well developed crystals.This is because of slow cooling process
When large masses of magma solidify far below earth's surface what type of rocks form?
one of the most common is granite. This kind of rock is called intrusive rock because it was formed under the surface, and it has large crystals.
What are minerals that form in intrusive rock?
I dont know but an intrusive rock is a type of igneos rock

What type of rock has glass like large crystals?
Intrusive igneous rocks, (Plutonic rocks)

Do igneous rocks have small crystals large crystals or no crystals?
It depends on the type of igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks such as granite have large crystals, extrusive igneous rocks may have small crystals as in basalt or no crystals as in pumice.

What igneous rock forms deep underground from cooled lava?
When magma cools underground, it creates intrusive rocks (intrusive=inside the earth). Intrusive rocks are coarse-grained and have visible mineral crystals. This happens because the magma cools slowly over a long period of time, giving these crystals time enough to form in a visible fashion. On the other end, we have extrusive rocks. These cool at the surface and have much smaller, usually 'invisible' crystals. This happens because the magma cools much, much faster, which of course doesn't give the crystals ample time to form.
What is the type of Igneous rock that forms underground?
Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary rocks
An intrusive igneous rock will have what type of texture?
Intrusive igneous rock has a coarse, visible crystalline texture. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from slow cooling of magma. The additional time spent in a liquid state allows for the creation of larger mineral crystals. An igneous rock with a coarse texture is said to be phaneritic.
What type of crystals form when molten rock cools quickly?
it forms ingenous rock ...
