The slower the rate of cooling the larger the size of the crystals that can develop.
What else can I help you with?
Are rocks formed when magma erodes?
No, rocks are not formed when magma erodes. Rocks are typically formed when magma cools and solidifies underground or on the Earth's surface. Erosion is the wearing away of rocks and minerals by wind, water, or ice over time.
What formed ocean crust?
Ocean crust is formed through a process called seafloor spreading, where magma rises up at mid-ocean ridges, cools, and solidifies to create new crust. This process is part of plate tectonics, where oceanic plates move away from each other, allowing new crust to form at the ridges.
What is a result in a diverging boundary?
At a diverging boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other. This results in the formation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. As the magma cools and solidifies, it creates new oceanic crust on the seafloor or volcanic activity on land.
How do atoms unite with other atoms?
Atoms with the same charge are pushed away from each other. Atoms with different charge attract (unite)
What happens when two plates pull away from each other?
When two plates pull away from each other, it creates a divergent boundary. As the plates move apart, magma rises to the surface from below the Earth's crust. This can form new crust as the magma solidifies, creating mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
What creates new crust as plates move away from each other?
Magma rises up from the earth's mantle and cools to create new crust.

Does magma cause plate techtonics?
Yes. Following the idea that heat rises, the magma rise from the core to the mantle, where it then cool down, this causes it to fall, however, it falls outwards, this cause the plates to push away from each other, but if they fall into each other, the plate's are pushed into one another. This is how volcano's are made, as the magma seeps though the Earth's crust and cools, forming rock. Hope this has helped.

Describe how the gap is filled when two tectonic plates move away from each other?
When two tectonic plates move away from each other, magma from the mantle rises to fill the gap, creating new crust at mid-ocean ridges through a process called seafloor spreading. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms new oceanic crust, effectively filling in the gap created by the plates moving apart. This process contributes to the continuous renewal and expansion of the Earth's lithosphere.
What happens to magma after it erupts onto the ocean floor?
The magma spills over the ridge and pushes the old sea floor away toward a subduction zone where the old sea floor melts.
When two plates diverge what happens?
The tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. The gap created by plates that are moving away from each other is filled in by new crust, created from the solidification of lava which is derived from the decompression melting of rising mantle rock.
Why do volcanoes go extinct?
There are a number of causes. In some cases the magma beneath a volcano cools until it is too viscous to erupt, and can even solidify completely if given enough time. A new injection of magma from the mantle can cause activity to resume. Sometimes the ultimate source of magma is removed as the plate moves away from a hot spot, or is consumer by subduction.
Why does the hydrogen atom keep itself as far away from other atoms?
because the hydrogen atom smells and the other atoms make fun of it
Why are molecule atoms are far away from each other as they can get?
Forces between electron pairs push the atoms apart.
