Not enough information. Some crystals will break if they cool rapidly, some crystals will not form correctly if the solution cools too quickly.

∙ 9y agoIf a crystal cools rapidly the resultant crystals are smaller. It takes a prolonged cooling period to form large crystals.

A crystal will be larger if it .?
cools slowly.
Why are mineral crystals in obsidian too small to see without a microscope?
The rock cools so rapidly from magma that crystals barely have time to form.
Overall mineral crystal size depends on how fast a solution?
they depend on how fast it cools down
What crystal large or small can help identify an igneous rock as intrusive or extrusive?
As a general rule extrusive igneous rock crystals are very small, often microscopic, as the rock cools very rapidly. Conversely intrusive magma often cools so slowly that sizeable crystals can develop.
What determines the size of a mineral crystal formed from magma?
The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
If a crystal cools rapidly it will be?
small
A crystal will be larger if it .?
cools slowly.
What types of crystal are formed if maltan rock cools quickly?
When a magma cools/solidifies, crystals are formed. The quicker the magma cools, the tinier the crystals. A granite for example, which is formed through slow cooling in the Earth's crust, consists out of big crystals. Contrary, magma erupting at the surface (which is then called lava) cools rapidly and consists out of tiny crystals. In extreme cases, the lava cools so rapidly that the resulting rock appears glassy. Hope this helps!
What cools rapidly at night desert or a swampland?
Due to lack of humidity and cloud cover, the desert cools rapidly after sunset.

Rock formed when magma cools slowly?
crystal
Type or crystal grain that form when molten rock cools quickly?
Fine crystal grain.

What effect does the the the rate that magma cools have on crystal formation?
if lava cools slowly, it will have a lot of crystals. When it cools fast, there will be little to no crystals what s ever.
What is the size of a crystal if it cools slowly?
"Larger than if it cools quickly" is about all that's definitively possible to say.
What kind of texture does igneous rock have when it cools rapidly?
coarse texture
