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.
Intrusive igneous rock, such as granite, is formed when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling allows for the formation of coarse-grained crystals within the rock.
When magma cools slowly within warm rock underground, it forms crystals with a coarse-grained texture. This type of crystal texture indicates that the minerals had time to grow larger before the magma solidified, reflecting a slow cooling process. Examples of rocks with coarse-grained textures include granite and diorite.
Igneous rock forms when magma cools and hardens. This type of rock can be classified as intrusive (plutonic) if it cools below the Earth's surface (slow cooling) or extrusive (volcanic) if it cools quickly on the Earth's surface. Examples of igneous rocks include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
The molten material deep inside Earth is called magma. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock.
Granite is a common igneous rock with coarse grains that forms deep underground from slowly cooling magma. It is extremely hard and durable, making it a popular choice for building materials such as countertops and monuments.

When a magma chamber cools slowly and hardens underground, it forms an intrusive igneous rock body like a pluton or a batholith. These rocks are characterized by large crystals due to the slow cooling process. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro.
a type of rock that forms when magma cools and hardens very slowly deep in earths crust...
False. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground when magma cools and solidifies slowly. Extrusive igneous rock forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.
When magma cools, it forms igneous rock.
Igneous rock is what forms when magma cools and hardens.
Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by slow cooling magma below the earth's surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed by magma cooling quickly, at or near the surface.
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.
When tiny crystals form in magma, they create an igneous rock known as "intrusive" or "plutonic" rock. This occurs when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing the crystals to grow larger, such as in granite. If the magma cools quickly on the surface, it forms "extrusive" or "volcanic" rock, like basalt, where the crystals are much smaller.
