Why do rocks cool and crystallize?
Not all rocks do cool and crystallize, your question is meaningless.
Do sedimentary rocks cool and crystallize?
No, sedimentary rocks are deposited and undergo lithofication over time. Igneous rocks cool and crystallize
Do felsic rocks crystallize at lower temperatures?
Yes, felsic rocks crystallize at lower temperatures compared to mafic rocks. This is because felsic rocks have higher silica content, leading to the formation of minerals like quartz and potassium feldspar that require lower temperatures to crystallize.
Do rocks with higher melting points crystallize first?
yes
What term describes igneous rocks that crystallize inside the Earth?
Intrusive igneous rocks.
What type of the sediment forms from minerals that crystallize from seawater?
Chemical sedimentary rocks, such as limestone and chert, can form when minerals crystallize from seawater. These rocks are typically composed of minerals that precipitate out of solution in bodies of water, including oceans.
Where on Earth's surface do extrusive cool and crystallize?
Extrusive rocks cool and crystallize on the Earth's surface or just below the surface when volcanic eruptions occur. This rapid cooling results in the formation of fine-grained rocks such as basalt and rhyolite.
Igneous rocks that crystallize from magma and that are composed almost entirely of quartz and feldspar have a composition that is?
Granitic Composition
Can Molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize be called magma?
Yes, molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize is called magma when it is below the Earth's surface. Once the molten rock material reaches the Earth's surface, it is referred to as lava.
Why are crystals found in intrusive rocks?
due to slow cooling of magma within the earth causes the minerals to crystallize.
How do you know when rocks crystallize?
when rocks crysallize their are differences. on of the main differences is that the crystals in the rock grow larger than they already are. secondly there size increase from their original size.
What are rocks with crystals inside called and how are they formed?
Rocks with crystals inside are called geodes. Geodes are formed when mineral-rich water seeps into cavities in rocks, depositing minerals that crystallize over time.
