If the magma cools down fastly the crystal size is small because the crystals do not have much time to form. If They magma slows down slowly the crystal size is big because it gives the crystals time to form!

The rock shown is composed primarily of large Crystals that were formed by?

The rock shown is likely composed primarily of large crystals that were formed by slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling process allows the crystals to grow to a larger size than in rocks formed by rapid cooling. This type of rock is known as an intrusive igneous rock.


What type of rock is a crystal rock?

Virtually all rock contains mineral crystals of various sizes. Most volcanic rocks such as granite contain crystals of quartz and other minerals. Crystal size varies depending on the speed of cooling.


Why are crystals different shapes and colors?

Crystals can have different shapes and colors due to variations in their molecular structure and composition. Factors like the type of atoms present, the arrangement of these atoms, and the conditions under which the crystal formed can influence its shape and color. Impurities in the crystal lattice can also contribute to different colors.


What type of bonding occurs to form the borax crystal?

Borax crystals are formed through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces between borax molecules, which are held together by shared electrons and attractive forces. These interactions create a structured lattice that gives borax crystals their unique shape and properties.


What effect do temperature changes have on crystals?

Yes, temperature does affect crystal growth. Hot water makes the crystals grow faster because the hotter the water, the hotter the crystal solution will be which makes the molecules move faster. This movement allows water to evaporate quicker leaving particles behind to form into crystals.

What type of crystals form in intrusive rocks?

large,well developed crystals.This is because of slow cooling process


What rock type is formed from the slow cooling of magma under the earths surface?

Magma cooling beneath the surface creates intrusive igneous rocks.


What type of crystals form when magma cools very slowly deep beneath the Earth's surface?

Large crystals are formed in igneous rock that forms from slow cooling magma, deep beneath the Earth's surface.


What type of stone contain some really big crystals?

Igneous rocks such as granite can contain large crystals due to slow cooling and solidification of magma beneath the Earth's surface. This slow cooling allows for the formation of large mineral crystals such as feldspar, quartz, and mica. These crystals are typically visible to the naked eye and contribute to the distinctive appearance of granite.


Rock formed from cooling inside the earth produces large crystals?

Yes, because slow cooling facilitates the growth of large crystals.


What are two factors affect the type of igneous rock that is formed?

The composition of the magma, which includes the proportion of silicate minerals and gases, and the cooling rate of the magma are two factors that influence the type of igneous rock that forms. Slow cooling leads to the formation of large crystals (intrusive rocks), while rapid cooling results in small or no crystals (extrusive rocks).


What do you do on a science fair about crystals?

you should talk about how crystals are formed and what type of crystals there are


When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?

When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface, it forms rocks with large crystals. This slow cooling allows more time for crystals to grow to a larger size compared to rocks that cool quickly at the surface. Examples of these rocks include granite and diorite.


What kind of ingeous rock would it be if magma crystallizes before it reaches earths surface?

This depends on the rapidity of the cooling. If the cooling is very slow, then one of the granites will result, identifiable by the type and presence of macro crystals - each a different mineral.If the cooling were fairly quick, then basalt polygonswill be formed ( as seen in the Giants Causeway), and these can approach a metre in dimension. These are of course, pseudo-crystals, not crystals in the mineral sense. They are the common substrate of all the rock as it spreads out from mid-ocean ridges. They are also not uncommon in volcanic outcrops.


Where did an igneous rock form if the rock contains large crystals?

Usually from the slow cooling of magma with a plentiful supply of material necessary for crystal growth, and space in which to grow.
