When magma heats underground water the result may be?
When magma comes in contact with underground water, it creates hot springs, or geysers.
Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
What kind of igneous rock texture results from slow cooling magma?
A coarse grained texture, referred to as a phaneritic texture, will be the resultant igneous rock texture. The slower the magma cools the more time minerals have to crystallize and thus grow bigger.
The process in which a rock changes as a result of heat generated from magma?
contact metamorphism
Minerals that form from magma are formed by?
Several minerals form in slow cooling magma. Some of those minerals are quartz, plagioclase feldspar, and potassium feldspar. These are the same minerals that are found in granite.
Is a volcano the result of the cooling and hardening deep underground?
Generally, the volcano is not the result of cooling and hardening deep underground. It is the molten magma in the core of the earth that, when it rises and breaks through the earth's crust, results in volcanic action.
What is the result of cooling and hardening of magma deep underground?
Intrusive igneous rock.
How does magma create rock?
Magma is molten rock. It becomes rock by cooling and hardening.
What is the cleavage of diorite?
Diorite is formed by the cooling of intermediate magmas underground.
What structures are formed from the cooling and hardening of magma beneaths earths surface?
Plutons
What is the definition of cooling and hardening?
Harding of rock formations through magma flow.
What are rocks that form when magma cools underground?
A pluton is a body of rock formed from the cooling of magma under the surface.
What forms igenous rock?
The cooling, solidification, crystallization and hardening of molten magma or lava.
Which rock type forms from cooling on earth's surface?
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and hardening of molten material called magma.
What structures form from the cooling and hardening of magma beneath earth's surface?
When magma cools slowly deep underground it produces a rock with larger crystals than when the magma (or lava) cools quickly near (or on) the surface.Rocks with the largest crystal structure are described as 'pegmatitic'.Rocks with crystals visible to the naked eye are described as 'phaneritic'.Rocks with no apparent crystal structure are called 'aphanitic'
How is the texture of an igneous rock related to the rate which it cooled?
Quick cooling of magma results in small crystal formation. Slow cooling magma results in larger crystals.
True or false granite is a metamorphic rock?
It is false. Granite is a igneous rock that was formed from magma cooling and hardening.
