What is after lava but before boulder?
After lava cools down and solidifies, it forms rocks. These rocks can then weather and erode into small fragments called boulders.
What can happen when the glacier melts in a cirque?
the glacier dropped small rocks as it melted. An erratic is a large boulder left behind after a glacier has melted

Are igneous rocks small or large crystals?
Igneous rocks can contain both small and large crystals, depending on how quickly they cooled from molten material. If they cooled slowly beneath the Earth's surface, they tend to form large crystals, as seen in rocks like granite. Conversely, if they cooled rapidly on the surface, such as in volcanic eruptions, they typically have small crystals or a glassy texture, as seen in rocks like basalt.
What is largest type of rock called?
what is largest and the smallest type of rock called?
Do small rocks unite with big rocks to form a boulder?
No. Boulders are large pieces of rocks that have broken off from formations of rock.

Why would boulder weather slowly while small rocks weather quickly?
1) The most obvious is that a boulder is significantly larger than a pebble or smaller boulder or rock. This would give the illusion of a smaller pebble weathering quiker than a boulder, when they are actually weathering at the same rate 2) The way they are being weather can be a factor. If you have a boulder being hit by only water or air while a pebble is all over the river bottom and sand than the pebble will weather quicker because there are more forces acting on it than the boulder.
Do extrusive rocks cool quickly?
Extrusive rocks do cool quickly because either the crystals in the rock are very small or there are no crystals at all.
Why do Small rocks weather more quickly then large rocks?
Small rocks have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which exposes more of their surface to weathering processes like erosion and chemical reactions. This increased exposure makes them more prone to breaking down or weathering quickly compared to larger rocks.

Why do extrusive rocks cool quickly?
because the crystal in the rock is very small
What rock cools on the surface?
Lava cools quickly and forms rocks with small crystals. They are called extrusive igneous rocks.
