Why do igneous rocks that have the same composition sometimes have different sizes of mineral grains?

What rocks are formed from molten rock that has solidified?
Igneous rocks, which come in many different forms.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?

Do we have igneous rock in Nigeria?
No we do not have igneous rocks in Nigeria because there are no volcanoes in Nigeria and it is lava or magma that make igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks can look very different depending on?
Igneous rocks look different depending on how fast the magma cools.
How are metamorphic rocks igneous rock and sedimentary rocks different?
Metamorphic rocks originate as igneous and sedimentary rocks, but have been changed by heat and pressure.
What is the density of felsic rocks?
Felsic refers to igneous rocks that are rich in elements that form feldspar and quartz. Their densities vary, depending on the rock, but they generally have low density.
How many types of rocks?

When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
How do igneous rocks form into metamorphic and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous-sedimentary weathering/erosion Igneous-Metamorphic high pressure and heat
What is one way igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks are different?
igneous rocks are made of lava that cools and hardens and metamorphic rocks are madeby heat and pressure.
Why do igneous rocks that have the same composition sometimes have different sizes of mineral grains?
This is as a result of difference in the rate of cooling of the Igneous rocks.
Consisting of layers of different minerals?
igneous rocks
What this different between acid igneous rock and basic igneous rock?
Acidic Rocks are those that have silica content. Basic rocks are ricj and iron and magnesium
What kind of formations are created when lava cools and hardens?
Igneous Rocks are formed. Obsidian is a volcanic glass, go to wikepidiea and search "list of rocks" and it will come up with all the different igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks and what they are.
What different types of rock are there?
There are three (3) different types of rocks, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks
