What are 3 types of igneous rocks?
Basalt: a dark-colored, fine-grained rock that forms from rapidly cooled lava. Granite: a light-colored, coarse-grained rock that forms from slowly cooled magma deep within the Earth's crust. Obsidian: a shiny, black volcanic glass that forms from rapidly cooled lava without crystallization.
Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?
No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.
A slowly cooled magma will most likely result in a rock with which one What textures?
A slowly cooled magma is likely to result in a rock with a coarse-grained texture because the crystals have more time to grow larger. Examples of rocks with coarse-grained textures from slowly cooled magma include granite and diorite.
When will salt crystals be larger slowly cooled or quickly cooled?
Salt crystals will be larger when they are slowly cooled. This is because slow cooling allows the ions in the salt solution more time to arrange themselves into a larger, more organized crystal structure. In contrast, quickly cooled solutions tend to form smaller crystals due to rapid solidification, which restricts the growth and ordering of the crystal lattice.
How long does it take for vinegar to dissolve pumice?
Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, can slowly dissolve pumice, but the process is quite slow. Depending on factors like the concentration of the vinegar and the surface area of the pumice, it may take several hours to days for noticeable dissolution to occur. However, complete dissolution could take much longer, and in practical terms, pumice is relatively resistant to vinegar compared to other substances.
What happens to cooled particles inside of a solid?
the particle will vibrate more slowly around its position.
Can geothermal energy be exhausted?
yes, to a certain extend. The rock is cooled by the thermal extraction. It will slowly warm up again from radioactive decay (fission) in the earths core and crust.

What do the crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce?
A crystal is a homogeneous solid substance that has a natural geometrically regular form. The crystals that form in slowly cooled magma produce large grains.
A slowly cooled magma will most likely result in a rock with which one What textures?
A slowly cooled magma is likely to result in a rock with a coarse-grained texture because the crystals have more time to grow larger. Examples of rocks with coarse-grained textures from slowly cooled magma include granite and diorite.
What would happen if a hot saturated solution was cooled slowly?
Crystallisation
Which igneous rock cooled slowly under ground and contains mostly quartz and potassium?
Granite is an example of an igneous rock that cooled slowly underground and contains mostly quartz and potassium feldspar.
Which igneous rock cools the slowest pumice and Granite?
Granite cools slower than pumice. Granite forms deep underground, allowing it to cool slowly and develop large mineral grains, whereas pumice cools quickly on the Earth's surface due to its volcanic origins, resulting in a fine-grained texture.
What is slowly destroy the earths protecive ozone layer?
CFC's slowly destroy ozone. They react with ozone and deplete it.
What is the difference in appearance between igneous rocks that have cooled slowly and igneous rocks that have cooled quickly?
Igneous rocks that cooled slowly are intrusive. Igneous rocks that cooled quickly are extrusive. Intrusive rocks form larger crystals, because the crystals have a longer time to grow. Extrusive rocks have small to no crystals, because they had little or no time to grow/form.
What are three events that change the earths crust slowly?
Erosian, weathering.
