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.

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.


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.

Could a rock cool faster underground or above ground?

A rock cools faster above ground than underground due to the differences in heat transfer mechanisms. Above ground, the rock is exposed to air, which allows for efficient convection and radiation, leading to quicker heat loss. In contrast, underground, the surrounding soil or rock acts as insulation, reducing the rate of heat dissipation. Consequently, the temperature of a rock will decrease more rapidly when it is above the surface.
