Is granite igneous or metamorphic?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
What is the cleavage of diorite?
Diorite is formed by the cooling of intermediate magmas underground.
What affects the type of igneous rock that is formed?
Mineral composition of the magma, Rate of cooling of the magma, Temperature of the magma, Presence of volatiles and Amount of water present in the magma.
How does the composition of the magma effect the temperature at which it solidifies?
When fluids such as water combine with rock, the composition of the rock changes, which lowers the melting point of the rock enough to melt it.
How can magma cause the plates that carry the continents to move apart?
magma is very hot so as it boils it moves the plates of the earth causing the continents to slowly move apart
Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Can minerals form the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Can Minerals form from the cooling of magma.?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
What mineral does magma turn into when it cools?
Magma solidifies into a combination of minerals that are collectively called igneous rock. Minerals common in igneous rock are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, muscovite and biotite mica, quartz, hornblende, olivine, and magnetite.
Minerals that form from magma are formed by?
Several minerals form in slow cooling magma. Some of those minerals are quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. These are the same minerals that are found in granite.
Is gabbro made from magma that cooled slowly?
Gabbro is formed from slow cooling basaltic magma.
The crystals that form in slowly cooling magma are generally?
large rocks
Is granite igneous or metamorphic?
igneous. Made from slowly cooling magma. :)
What characteristics do crystals that form in slowly cooling magma have?
They grow large.
Where is basalt and gabbro formed?
Basalt and gabbro are chemically equivalent rocks. Basalt solidifies above ground and gabbro solidifies below ground.
What texture does magma in two cooling stages first slowly then quickly?
very coarse
What solidifies into plutonic rock?
magma
