Magma solidifies into a combination of minerals that are collectively called igneous rock. Minerals common in igneous rock are potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, muscovite and biotite mica, quartz, hornblende, olivine, and magnetite.

When magma cools slowly what is the rock that forms?

When magma cools slowly, it forms igneous rocks such as granite or diorite, which have large mineral crystals because they had time to grow as the magma solidified.


What below the Earths's surface cools and hardens to form mineral crystals?

Magma beneath the Earth's surface cools and solidifies to form mineral crystals. This process takes place over long periods of time, allowing different types of crystals to form depending on the minerals present in the magma.

Is the crystal in the igneous rock large if it cools slowly from magma?

Yes. Slow cooling magma produces larger mineral crystals.


What is the first minerals to form when magma cools that are rich in iron calcium and magnesium?

The first minerals to form when magma cools and is rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium are typically olivine, pyroxene, and/or plagioclase feldspar. These minerals have high melting points and tend to crystallize early as the magma cools.


What determines the size of a minerals crystals?

The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the mineral crystal.
