Rocks cool at different rates due to how they were formed if they were formed intrusively or extrusively

Examples of different igneous rocks that form differently is Granite and Gabbro form the same but different from Rhyolite.

Relative cooling rates of igneous intrusive rocks can be estimated by comparing rocks?

The relative cooling rates of igneous intrusive rocks can be estimated by comparing the crystal sizes of the minerals within the rocks. In general, rocks that cool more slowly will have larger crystals, while rocks that cool more rapidly will have smaller crystals. Therefore, by examining the crystal sizes of minerals in intrusive rocks, we can infer their cooling rates.


Do different types of rocks erode at different rates?

depends on conditions and type of rock


What are cool facts about rocks?

they are made with stuff different minerals


Do the rocks around coasts erodes at the same rate?

Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.


Do all rocks weather the same way?

Why did rocks become a collectible?

Rocks became a collectible because thousands of people think they are cool for different reasons.


Where rocks on opposite sides of a fault move in different or in the same direction at different rates?

strike slip fault


Why do different rocks weather at different rates?

Depending on the minerals in their composition, some rocks are harder than others. Rocks that contain minerals with higher ratings on the Mohs scale are harder, and would erode more slowly than other rocks.


Which igneous rock cools the fastest glassy aphanitc pegmatic and porphyritic?

Glassy igneous rocks cool the fastest. The most likely had more nucleation. Pegmatic cooled the slowest, which is why its crystals are larger than 1 cm. Phaneritic is the next slowest in cooling. Porphyritic has slow then rapid cooling, while aphanitic igneous rocks also have rapid cooling.

Why do rocks cool and crystallize?

Not all rocks do cool and crystallize, your question is meaningless.


Why do rocks erode at different rates?

Rocks erode at different rates depending on factors such as composition, hardness, and environmental conditions. Soft rocks erode more quickly than hard rocks because they are more easily weathered by elements like wind and water. Additionally, the presence of minerals in the rock can affect its susceptibility to erosion.
