What igneous rock has no visible crystals as a result of rapid cooling?
Obsidian rocks are cooled very fast, and you cannot see the crystals in them.
Rapid cooling of lava in which tiny crystals form results in what kind of texture?
Rapid cooling of lava in which tiny crystals form results in a glassy texture.
What type of igneous rock cools faster?
extrusive rocks cools faster because it is in open air or under the sea
What do large crystal grains in an igneous rock indicate?
A vesicular igneous texture generally indicates rapid cooling.
Which igneous rock cools the fastest glassy aphanitc pegmatic and porphyritic?
Glassy igneous rocks cool the fastest. The most likely had more nucleation. Pegmatic cooled the slowest, which is why its crystals are larger than 1 cm. Phaneritic is the next slowest in cooling. Porphyritic has slow then rapid cooling, while aphanitic igneous rocks also have rapid cooling.
Holes in a rock that results from rapid cooling are called?
Vesicles.
What is igneous rock with small crystals called?
The rock is said to be extrusive or possess an aphanitic texture, as a result of relatively rapid cooling.
What is the result texture of rapid cooling of lava in which tiny crystals form?
Fine-grained
Does igneous basalt form partly as the result of surface processes?
Yes. In that basalt is formed from rapid cooling of lava at or near the surface.
What type of rock had no visible crystals as result of rapid cooling?
Obsidian is an example of a rapidly cooled rock, also known as volcanic glass.
How does fine granied form?
rapid cooling
small crystals form from rapidly cooling magma?
no . they come from rapid cooling lava
What will happen if the cooling is rapid?
A phenomenon of supercooling is possible.
What is the process a pumice rock go through?
Pumice is simply a frothy, gas entrained volcanic glass, a result of the extremely rapid cooling of felsic lava after eruption.
What igneous rock has no visible crystals as a result of rapid cooling?
Obsidian rocks are cooled very fast, and you cannot see the crystals in them.
Is basalt formed from slow or rapidly cooling magma?
Basalt is formed from relatively rapid cooling magma.
What caused cracked or checked brake drums?
Overheating, and rapid cooling.
