What are the two different types of igneaous rock how do they look different?
The two main types of igneous rock are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive rocks form underground and have larger crystals due to slower cooling. Extrusive rocks form on the Earth's surface and have smaller crystals due to rapid cooling.
How do you think crystals with more impurities will look compared to crystals with a fewer impurities?
The physical properties are different, especially the color.
Why do crytals of different sizes have bigger crystals?
Larger crystals are formed when the conditions for crystal growth remain constant for a longer period, allowing more molecules to arrange into a larger, more organized structure. In contrast, smaller crystals may form when conditions fluctuate or change rapidly, limiting the growth of individual crystals.
Do crystals grow larger during metamorphism?
During metamorphism, crystals can grow larger through a process called recrystallization, where existing minerals rearrange their atoms to form larger crystals. This can happen due to changes in temperature, pressure, or the presence of fluids in the rock. So, yes, crystals can grow larger during metamorphism.
Why do some rocks have larger crystals than others?
The size of the crystals depend on the time it took the rock to cool. Slow cooling rocks have larger crystals because they had a longer time to grow their crystals. For example Basalt is an volcanic extrusive igneous rock that forms from rapid cooling of the magma and are usually located near the surface or on the ocean floor, it has finer crystals not visible by the naked eye. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that forms from slow cooling of the magma within the earth crust, it has larger crystals.
What do sugar crystals look like?
A crystal of course!

What is an igneous rock with crystals?
Granite with larger crystals, basalt with smaller crystals.

Why do crystals make everything look colorful when you look in to it?
It's because different colours of light traverse at different speeds, when they're all traversing at the same speed the light colour is, 'transparent' light traverses at different speeds through crystals / glass due to refraction.
Crystals such as rock candy grow larger as they are forming are these crystals alive?
No, crystals are chemical compounds that are not considered to be alive.

Why crystals are color?
There are different minerals in different crystals which make them different colors. And "imperities"
What terms are used to donate the larger crystals in a porphyritic rock?
The large crystals are known as phenocrysts.
Why would the crystals in an intrusive igneous rock be larger than the crystals in an chemical sedimentary rock.?
Intrusive rocks form beneath the earth's surface, so they cool very slowly, which produces larger crystals.
