What feature in igneous rocks is the best indication of how rapidly the magma crystallized?
The size of the crystals. Large crystals mean the magma cooled slowly, small crystals are a sign that the magma was cooled quickly.
What affects the size of crystals formed from magma?
The rate at which the magma cools affects the size of the crystals that form. If it cools slowly, large crystals will form. If it cools rapidly, small crystals will form.if it takes the rock a long time to cool down the crystals will be bigger if the rock takes a short time to cool the crystals will be smaller
What type of crystals form when magma cools very slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface?
Large crystals are formed in igneous rock that forms from slow cooling magma, deep beneath the Earth's surface.
Where did an igneous rock form if the rock contains large crystals?
Usually from the slow cooling of magma with a plentiful supply of material necessary for crystal growth, and space in which to grow.
What factor determine the size of crystals in metamorphic rocks?
Large mineral crystals that are all about the same size are formed from magma that cooled slowly inside the earth. Small mineral crystals (not identifiable without a microscope) formed from magma that cooled rapidly, on or near the surface of the earth.
What characteristics do crystals that form in slowly cooling magma have?
They grow large.
When magma cools slowly the crystals formed are generally...?
Yes it does
Do Minerals that form in slowly cooling magma have small crystals.?
No, minerals that form in slowly cooling magma typically have larger crystals. This is because the slower cooling process allows more time for the atoms to arrange themselves into well-defined crystal structures. In contrast, minerals that form in rapidly cooling magma tend to have smaller crystals due to the quick solidification, which does not provide sufficient time for crystal growth.
Is the crystal in the igneous rock large if it cools slowly from magma?
Yes. Slow cooling magma produces larger mineral crystals.
What process is required for minerals to crystallize from magma?
The process is cooling. When magma cools slowly, large well-define crystals form.
Magma that cools quickly does it produce rocks that are fined grained?
Generally speaking, yes. Magma that cools quickly will produce small, "fine grained" crystals.Magma which cools slowly will generally produce rocks with larger, visible to the naked eye, crystals.This is because while magma is cooling, crystals are forming. Generally, crystal which have more time to grow will be larger. Therefore, generally, the slower magma cools, the bigger the crystals will be. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to grow and are thus smaller, "fine grained".
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface, it forms rocks with large crystals. This slow cooling allows more time for crystals to grow to a larger size compared to rocks that cool quickly at the surface. Examples of these rocks include granite and diorite.

When magma cools slowly the crystals formed are generally large?
Yes, when magma cools slowly, the atoms have more time to arrange themselves into orderly patterns, leading to the formation of larger crystals. This results in coarse-grained igneous rocks with visible crystals, such as granite.
How is the size of crystals in an igneous rock related to the formation of a rock?
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
What type of crystals form when magma cools very slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface?
Large crystals are formed in igneous rock that forms from slow cooling magma, deep beneath the Earth's surface.
