Is granite formed from rapidly cooling magma?
No."Granite is formed by the slow cooling & crystallization of magma at some depth in the earth's crust, as indicated by its characteristic phaneritic & phaneritic-porphyritic texture."-The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Rocks & Minerals
How would a rock that formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface compare with a rock that formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust?
A rock formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface would have smaller mineral grains due to rapid cooling, making it fine-grained (such as basalt). In contrast, a rock formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust would have larger mineral grains due to slower cooling, resulting in a coarse-grained texture (such as granite).
What are two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma?
Two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma are granite and diorite. Granite has a coarse-grained texture due to the slow cooling process, while diorite is a medium- to coarse-grained rock with a speckled appearance.
When magma crystallizes it becomes?
When magma crystallizes, it becomes igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. The texture and composition of the igneous rock are determined by the rate of cooling and the mineral content of the magma.
What is an igenous rock?
An igneous rock is a type of rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. It can be either intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
Is basalt formed from slow or rapidly cooling magma?
Basalt is formed from relatively rapid cooling magma.
What determines the type of mineral formed by cooling magma?
The rate of cooling of the magma determines the type of mineral formed by the magma or lava..
What is the rock formed from the cooling and solidification of magma beneath the surface of the earth?
Its a igneous rock whenit is made formed by magma.
Rocks made by the cooling of magma are called?
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by the cooling of magma.
Does granite form magma?
Yes, granite is formed from cooling magma.
What is a rock formed y molten material cooling?
Igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma cooling
What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?
The type of rock formed by cooling of Magma or Lava is Igneous
Rock formed by the cooling of magma?
igneous rock
What rock is formed by the heating and cooling of magma?
Igneous.
Is granite formed from lava cooling or magma cooling?
Not from the magma, no. Cooled and solidified magma is classified as igneous. However, metamorphic rocks can be formed as the heat and hot fluids of intruding magma affect the properties and possibly the chemistry of the existing "country rock" into which it comes in contact. This process is called contact metamorphism.
Can minerals from from the cooling of magma?
Yes. When magma cools and solidifies, mineral crystals are formed.
Is sedimentary rock formed from cooling magma?
No, sedimentary rock is formed from the deposition and compression of sediment such as sand, silt, and clay. Cooling magma forms igneous rock when it solidifies.
