Generally, false. Intrusive rocks cool far more slowly than extrusive ones, so the crystals have time to grow larger.

True or false intrusive igneous rock forms small crystals because it cools rapidly?

True. Intrusive igneous rock, also known as plutonic rock, forms larger crystals because it cools slowly underground. Extrusive igneous rocks cool rapidly on the Earth's surface, forming smaller crystals.


Is the following sentence true or false Intrusive rocks have similar crystals than extrusive rocks?

Rocks usually contain a mixture of minerals.


Are magmas classified as intrusive and extrusive?

Yes, magmas can be classified as intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive magmas cool and solidify beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rocks like granite. Extrusive magmas erupt onto the Earth's surface and solidify quickly, forming extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.


Intrusive igneous rock is cooled and solidified above ground?

False. Intrusive igneous rock forms underground when magma cools and solidifies slowly. Extrusive igneous rock forms when magma erupts onto the Earth's surface and cools quickly.


Intrusive igneous rock forms small crystals because it cools rapidly.?

false


Is this true or false Intrusive rock is characterized by large crystals created by the slow cooling of magma?

The statement is true.


Is Igneous rocks form only beneath Earth's surface true or false?

False. Igneous rocks can form both beneath the Earth's surface, where they are called intrusive or plutonic rocks, and on the surface from volcanic activity, known as extrusive or volcanic rocks. Intrusive rocks crystallize slowly from magma deep within the Earth, while extrusive rocks solidify quickly from lava that erupts onto the surface.


Is it true that igneous rocks form only beneath earths surface?

No, igneous rocks can form both beneath and above the Earth's surface. Intrusive igneous rocks form beneath the surface as magma cools and solidifies underground. Extrusive igneous rocks, on the other hand, form on the Earth's surface when lava cools and solidifies quickly.


Is it true or false that igneous rocks are classified by their oroigntextureshape?

False. Igneous rocks are primarily classified by their origin (intrusive or extrusive) and their mineral composition, rather than their texture or shape. Texture can be a characteristic used to further describe igneous rocks, but it is not a primary method of classification.


Is A vertical wall of intrusive rock a batholith.?

false


True or false granite is a fine grained igneous rock?

False. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock and so commonly cools slowly so has time to develop moderate to large crystals.


Large crystals from water solutions usually form from very rapid cooling true or false?

False. Large crystals typically form from slow cooling of a solution, which allows molecules to arrange themselves into a well-defined crystal structure. Rapid cooling tends to produce smaller crystals or even amorphous solids, as the molecules do not have enough time to organize properly.
