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.


When magma cools too fast what happens to the size of the crystals?

When magma cools fast, crystals are small.Less time to form crsytalsWhen magma cools slow, crystals are large.More time to form crystalsWhen magma cools very fast, crystals do not form; nothing.Very less time to formWhen magma cools very slow, large crystals form; a LOT.A lot more time to form


How can you tell if a intrusive rock forms?

Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.


What is a type of crystal grain that forms when rock cools Slowly?

When molten rock cools slowly, it will have a lot of time to form crystals, so the crystal size will be quite big. Take granite, for example. With the naked eye, you can see the individual crystals. The grain size is quite large. The kind of mineral that forms is dependent on the composition of the magma.


What are the conditions which small and large crystals are likely to form?

Small crystals are likely to form when the solution cools quickly or when there are impurities present that inhibit crystal growth. Large crystals are likely to form when the solution is allowed to cool slowly or when there is a high concentration of solute in the solution.

What is the simplified pattern that illustrates the order in which minerals crystallize from cooling magma?

when magma cools fast you get smaller crystals when it cools slow you get large crystals its very simple


Magma cools slowly atoms cant arrange into crystals?

IF the magma cools slowly witin Earths eated interior the atoms have time 2 arrange themselves into large crystals!


What type of crystal grain forms when magma cools slowly?

the crystals are large


Does melted rock that cools quickly result in igneous rock with large mineral crystals?

No, melted rock that cools quickly result in igneous rock with large minerals because large crystals take time to form and the rocks that usually have them are the ones that were formed inside the earth.

Do igneous rocks have large crystals?

It depends on the cooling rate of the magma. If the magma cools slowly underground, large crystals can form, creating intrusive igneous rocks. If the magma cools rapidly on the Earth's surface, small crystals or glassy textures can result in extrusive igneous rocks.


Magma that cools quickly does it produce rocks that are fined grained?

Generally speaking, yes. Magma that cools quickly will produce small, "fine grained" crystals.Magma which cools slowly will generally produce rocks with larger, visible to the naked eye, crystals.This is because while magma is cooling, crystals are forming. Generally, crystal which have more time to grow will be larger. Therefore, generally, the slower magma cools, the bigger the crystals will be. The faster lava cools, the less time crystals have to grow and are thus smaller, "fine grained".


When magma cools slowly what is the rock that forms?

When magma cools slowly, it forms igneous rocks such as granite or diorite, which have large mineral crystals because they had time to grow as the magma solidified.


What does an igneous rock's crystal grain size indicate to the observer?

The size of the mineral crystals in an igneous rock is related to the rate of time spent in cooling from magma. Longer exposure to the crystallization temperature means larger crystals. Less time means smaller crystals, or in the case of obsidian, which cools extremely quickly, no crystallization.


What factor affects the size of the crystals in minerals that form from magma or lava?

If the lava cools quickly the crystals will be smaller than if it cooled slowly.
