How does cooling of magma affect crystal size?

A) Slow cooling creates small crystals

B) Fast cooling creates both large and small crystals.

C) Slow cooling creates large crystals

D) Fast cooling create large crystals


Sagot :

Answer:

When magma cools, crystals form because the solution is super-saturated with respect to some minerals. If the magma cools quickly, the crystals do not have much time to form, so they are very small. If the magma cools slowly, then the crystals have enough time to grow and become large.

Answer:

I learned about this, Uhm...

C is the right answer bc igneous rocks cool and form crystals.

Lava, since it comes out of a volcano, cools faster and has smaller crystals since they could not be developed enough.

Magma, still underground, cools slower than lava because of all the density and heat, which causes bigger crystals.

Hope this helps :)
