Check all that apply.

fine texture
evidence of slow cooling
small crystals

Respuesta :

The correct options are F) small crystals, B coarse texture, and C) evidence of slow cooling.

How does the cooling rate affect crystal size?

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.

What method produces bigger crystals slow cooling vs Rapid cooling why?

Note that slow crystallization gives larger crystals than fast crystallization. Small crystals have a large surface area to volume ratio and impurities are located on the surface of the crystals as well as trapped inside the matrix.
