What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why do some igneous rocks cool slower than other?
Some igneous rocks cool slower than others due to differences in their mineral composition and size of crystals. Rocks with higher amounts of silica tend to cool more slowly because silica-rich minerals take longer to crystallize. Additionally, rocks with larger crystals, known as intrusive rocks, cool more slowly than rocks with smaller crystals, known as extrusive rocks, because the larger crystals have had more time to grow.
Why do smaller rocks weather faster than big rocks?
Small particles weather faster than larger particles because they have a smaller surface area. For example, pebbles weather faster than boulders because the have less areas to cover.
