Two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma are granite and diorite. Granite has a coarse-grained texture due to the slow cooling process, while diorite is a medium- to coarse-grained rock with a speckled appearance.
Igneous rocks form as a result of cooling magma. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian. The size of the mineral crystals in the rock is determined by the rate of cooling.
Intrusive rocks form beneath the Earth's surface from the cooling of magma, while igneous rocks form above the surface from the cooling of lava. Intrusive rocks have larger crystal sizes due to their slower cooling rates, whereas igneous rocks have smaller crystal sizes due to their faster cooling rates.
Granite is classified as an intrusive igneous rock.
When magma crystallizes, it becomes igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and solidification of molten rock material. The texture and composition of the igneous rock are determined by the rate of cooling and the mineral content of the magma.
Igneous rocks are formed through the process of heating and cooling beneath the earth's surface. This process involves molten rock (magma) cooling and solidifying to create igneous rocks such as granite or basalt.
