quick cooling
What else can I help you with?
Where do fine grained igneous rock form?
Well that will be intrusive igneous rocks, extrusive forms inside the earths crust
What is the cooling environment of a fine grained igneous rock?
A fine-grained igneous rock forms from magma cooling quickly at or near the surface of the Earth. This rapid cooling prevents large mineral crystals from forming, resulting in a fine-grained texture with small mineral grains. Examples of fine-grained igneous rocks include basalt and rhyolite.
What does a fine-grass igneous rock forms?
A fine grained igneous rock forms from Lava that escapes from the earth crust to the surface and cools and solidifies rapidly.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
What are two different igneous rock textures?
*fine-grained *coarse-grained
What does a fine-grained igneous rock form from?
A fine grained igneous rock forms from Lava that escapes from the earth crust to the surface and cools and solidifies rapidly.
Where do fine grained igneous rock form?

Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
What is the cooling environment of a fine grained igneous rock?

Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
A fine-grained igneous rock would likely weather faster than a coarse-grained igneous rock. This is because the smaller grains in a fine-grained rock provide more surface area for weathering processes to act upon, leading to quicker breakdown and erosion.
How does fine grained igneous rock form?
when the lava cools quickley it is fine-grained
What does a fine-grass igneous rock forms?
A fine grained igneous rock forms from Lava that escapes from the earth crust to the surface and cools and solidifies rapidly.
A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
How is basalt different from gabbro?
Basalt and gabbro are both igneous rocks, with major differences in grain size and where they form. Basalt has fine-grained crystals and forms from lava flows on the Earth's surface, while gabbro has coarse-grained crystals and forms from magma cooling beneath the Earth's surface.
Which igneous rock forms when basaltic lava hardens?
Basalt is the igneous rock that forms when basaltic lava cools and hardens. It is fine-grained and dark in color, typically containing minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase.
What are two different igneous rock textures?
*fine-grained *coarse-grained
