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.


When magma cools slowly what type of grain do you get?

Large crystalline grains.


What kind of crystals are formed when liquid rock cools slowly beneath the earth's surface?

When liquid rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, intrusive igneous rocks are formed. These rocks have large crystals due to the slow cooling process, allowing sufficient time for mineral grains to grow. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro.


When melted rock cools and hardens an intrusive igneous rock is formed?

when it cools undera lot of pressure underground it is an intrusive igneous. If it cools on the surface of the earth then it is an extrusive igneous.


What kind of mineral has a large grains?

Intrusive


Which one has large grains between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?

intrusive


Is micro granite intrusive or extrusive?

Granite is an intrusive type of igneous rock Also since it is intrusive it cools very slowly and forms large crystals and coarse (large) grained igneous rock.


Is porphyry extrusive or intrusive?

Porphyry can be either extrusive or intrusive. Extrusive porphyry forms from lava that cools quickly on the Earth's surface, while intrusive porphyry forms from magma that cools more slowly beneath the surface. Both types of porphyry have distinctive large crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a fine-grained matrix.


What Igneous rocks have large crystals and form when melted rock cools slowly and hardens underneath earth's surface?

They are called intrusive igneous rocks.


Does intrusive rock cool fast or slow from magma?

Intrusive rock cools slowly from magma underground, allowing large mineral crystals to form. This slow cooling process is why intrusive rocks, such as granite and diorite, have a coarse-grained texture.


What igneous rock is formed in the earth?

Igneous rock formed in the earths crust is known as intrusive rock. The magma that forms it cools slowly and therefore, creates rock with large crystals. An example of an intrusive igneous rock is granite.


Magma that cools slowly forms what kind of rock?

Intrusive igneous rocks are formed by slow cooling magma below the earth's surface. Extrusive igneous rock is formed by magma cooling quickly, at or near the surface.
