How long does it take for a igneous rock to cool?

Answer 1

The cooling process of an igneous rock can vary depending on the size of the rock and the environment in which it is cooling. Generally, smaller rocks can cool relatively quickly, within hours to days, while larger rocks may take thousands to millions of years to fully cool. The rate of cooling also affects the texture and crystal size of the rock, with slower cooling resulting in larger crystals.

Answer 2

Some Igneous rocks cool off faster than others. The ones that cool off quicker takes a couple of months to cool. the ones that is slower to cool off takes several years. The faster ones cools glassy and with small grains. The slower ones cools off dull and with big grains.

Answer 3

This depends on a lot of factors. Is it intrusive or extrusive? How large is it? How hot was it to start? What are it's chemical properties? A small lava flow will cool in a matter of hours, a large batholith could take millions of years.

Answer 4

Magma becomes igneous rock when it solidifies. Some igneous rock has only taken seconds to solidify from magma while other igneous rock, such as granite may take millions of years.

Answer 5

It depends on how the rock was formed. In the case of the igneous rock obsidian, it may have taken a few minutes. In the case of granite, it may have taken hundreds of thousands of years.

Answer 6

Depends. It may take hours or even minutes.

Answer 7

it takes a couple of days roughly about 3 (days) for lava to be turned into Malten Rock.

Answer 8

millions of years for granite

Answer 9

roughly second to months (very late at responding).

sorry b, i dont know
