When you think about it a larger rock has more surface area to be worn away

think about it like if you have a large sweet or a small sweet,which will be gone faster if you suck/chew it,the small sweet because there is less of it

How does the rate of cooling influence crystal size of igneous rocks and how does that help you to distinguish between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

The longer that magma is able to cool, the larger the crystals will be. Intrusive rocks will have larger crystals than extrusive rocks. For example granite (intrusive) has larger grains than rhyolite (extrusive).


How will you treat an experimental group in a lab about finding why larger organisms get eaten more often than smaller organisms?

because they are larger and slower.


Why do bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels?

it takes a larger wheel longer to travel its circumfrance


Does intrusive rocks have smaller minerals than extrusive rocks?

No. Intrusive rocks have larger crystals because the magma would have taken longer to cool and solidify than extrusive magma.


Do bigger wheel roll faster?

No. Bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels. They roll slower because they have a larger circumference and they take longer to roll. Smaller wheels have a smaller circumference meaning they go faster.


Is this true or false Intrusive rocks have smaller crystals than extrusive rocks?

Generally, false. Intrusive rocks cool far more slowly than extrusive ones, so the crystals have time to grow larger.


A probability can be no larger than what and no smaller than what?

A probability can be no larger than 1 and no smaller than 0.


Do extrusive rocks have larger grains than intrusive rocks?

No, extrusive rocks typically have smaller grains than intrusive rocks. Extrusive rocks form from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained or glassy textures. In contrast, intrusive rocks form from magma that cools slowly beneath the surface, allowing larger crystals to develop. Thus, intrusive rocks generally have larger grains compared to extrusive rocks.


Why are lava flows finer grained than intrusive igneous rocks?

Lava flows cool rapidly compared to the cooling of rocks underground. The slower cooling time of intrusive igneous rocks allows larger crystal formation. Generally, the more cooling time, the larger the crystals.


Is 0.2 smaller or larger than 0.02?

it is larger.


Why are female eagles larger than male eagles?

The female is larger than the male in most birds of prey. This helps when hunting because the male being smaller is faster and more agile in flight. The female while slower can catch larger prey.


Does a mouse's heart beat slower than an elephant's heart?

Yes. There is a direct correlation between an animals average body size and the speed of its heartbeat with smaller animals having faster heartbeats than larger animals.
