What igneous rocks that form from magna cools slowly?
Intrusive igneous rocks, like granite.
Does Granite cools very quickly?
No. Granite cools relatively slowly; its large crystals are one method of observing this. Granite is referred to as a "phaneritic" igneous rock, meaning that it is coarse-grained. Coarse-grained rocks cool slowly, which means that the minerals have time to form large crystals before the rock solidifies. A rock with the same composition as granite that does cool quickly is called rhyolite.
What are rocks that form as a resutlt of cooling magma?
Rocks that form as a result of cooling magma are igneous rocks. They can be classified as intrusive rocks (cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface) or extrusive rocks (cooled quickly at the Earth's surface). Examples include basalt, granite, and rhyolite.
Is granite a glassy igneous rock?
No, granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock that is made up of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Glassy igneous rocks, like obsidian, form when molten lava cools quickly on the surface, resulting in a smooth, glass-like texture.
What type of rock can form above or below earths surface?
Igneous rocks can form both above and below the Earth's surface. When magma erupts from a volcano and cools quickly, it creates extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt, on the surface. Conversely, intrusive igneous rocks, like granite, form when magma cools slowly beneath the surface. Both types result from the cooling and solidification of molten rock.

Is granite a sedementary rock?
No, Granite is an igneous rock. It has a very mottled appearance because it cools very slowly allowing the different constituent minerals to form crystals.
What igneous rock forms from granite?
Granite is already an igneous rock. If the granite simply melts and re-solidifies it will become granite again. If it melts and is erupted from a volcano, it will form rhyolite. If it melts and mixes with magma of a different composition, then it could form any number of igneous rocks.
Why would granite have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above earths surface?
I think igneous rock have a larger crystal than all the others because igneous rock is all the way at the bottom of earth surface and it keeps cool of or hot at the same time.

What are two types igneous rocks?
Granite and basalt are the most common types of igneous rock. Igneous rock types, or classifications, also include those that are intrusive and extrusive. Intrusive igneous rock is formed from the solidification of slow cooling magma below the surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed for the solidification of rapidly cooling lava at or near the surface.
Igneous rocks with large crystals?
Igneous rocks with large crystals are known as intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks form underground as magma cools slowly, allowing large crystals to grow. Common examples include granite and diorite.
When igneous rocks from a volcanic eruption cools what does it form?
When igneous rocks from a volcanic eruption cool, they can form either intrusive or extrusive rocks. Intrusive igneous rocks form when magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in larger mineral grains. Examples include granite and diorite. Extrusive igneous rocks form when lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, resulting in smaller mineral grains. Examples include basalt and pumice.
