Basalts cool faster.


Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?

No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.


What may have cooled the earth's surface?

Some igneous rocks cool at the surface and some cool underground. What are the names of these two types?

Underground = intrusive/plutonic aboveground = extrusive/volcanic


Do a black surface cool faster than shiny surface?

No, a black surface will absorb more heat from its surroundings and radiate it back out more slowly compared to a shiny surface. This means that a shiny surface will typically cool faster than a black surface.


Why does rhyolite cool fast?

Rhyolite cools fast because it forms at the surface. Air carries heat away from molten rock much faster than the rock deep underground.


Why would a rock cool faster on top of the surface then underneath the surface?

'Cause it has less heat on the surface then under it.

What is the magma that reaches the earth's surface?

Magma that reaches the surface is referred to as lava.magma that has reached the earth's surface tends to cool faster, that is why the rock will have more holes in it than a rock that has not reached the earth's surface. magma that has cooled enough to become a rock is known as a igneous rock. but there are two types of igneous rock. ther is intrusive igneous and extrusive igneous. intrusive is when the magma has cooled on the inside. this rock will have large crystals because it has cooled slower and most likely it will have a fine grained texture. extrusive igneous is when magma has reached earths surface (thats when it becomes lava) and has cooled. these rock with either have very small microscopic crystals or no crystals at all because the lava cools so quickly that they do not have enough time to really form.
