What else can I help you with?
Is basalt cooled slowly?
In reference to the cooling of magma into rock, basalt is formed from rapid cooling.
How will the size of crystals in granite be different to the size of crystals in basalt?
because they take longer to cool from the magma it is formed from
What igneous rocks cool above ground?
Igneous rocks that cool above ground are called extrusive or volcanic rocks. Examples include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools rapidly.
List of igneous rocks?
Some common igneous rocks include granite, basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks form from the solidification of molten magma beneath the Earth's surface or from volcanic eruptions. Igneous rocks can be classified as intrusive (plutonic) if they cool slowly beneath the surface, or extrusive (volcanic) if they cool rapidly on the surface.
What are rocks called when they cool from lava at Earth's surface?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from rapidly cooled lava at Earth's surface. Examples are obsidian and basalt.
Is basalt cooled slowly?
In reference to the cooling of magma into rock, basalt is formed from rapid cooling.
What does basalt feel?
Basalt feels like a smooth, dense and cool stone.
Why does basalt rocks cool slowly?
Basalt cools off quickly because it is formed under water.
What ia A black rock formed from cool lava called?
Basalt.
Why are crystals in basalt that formed under water smaller than those in basalt that formed on ground?
Crystals in basalt that formed underwater are smaller because they cool faster in the water, resulting in less time for the crystals to grow. On the other hand, crystals in basalt that formed on the ground have more time to grow as they cool more slowly, leading to larger crystal sizes.
What igneous rock are fine-grained due to fast cooling?
Basalt
Which is fomed by fast cooling lava--pumice granite or basalt?
Pumice is the result of extremely fast cooling lava.
What rocks are formed by fast cooling magma?
Rocks formed by fast cooling magma are typically fine-grained and include rocks like basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. These rocks cool quickly on or near the Earth's surface, resulting in small mineral grains and a smooth texture.
What does basalt feel like?
Basalt feels like a smooth, dense and cool stone.
How can basalt layer cooled and solidified on the surface before the conglomerate layer was deposited?
Basalts cool faster.
How fast does aluminum cool down?
very fast
Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
