An igneous rock has large red, black, and green crystals. How else can this rock be accurately described? Fine texture cooled quickly intrusive origin created by lava

Sagot :

Igenous rocks are created by lava colling and cristalization. They can be either intrusive (slow cooling) or extrusive (fast cooling). The option that includes all ingeous rocks is D). created by lava.

What is an igneous rock?

Igenous rocks come straight from the interior of the Earth.

A liquid mass of silicate composition coming from the Earth's core erupts out of a volcano as lava.

Since this melted mass comes from the Earth's interior, its temperature is extremely high.

Lava begins to cool and solidify during its ascent to the Earth's surface.

Igneous rocks are produced by the magma cooling and cristalizing when they get in touch with air.

Thre are two types of igneous rocks

plutonic rocks ⇒ close to the terrestrial crust ⇒ intrusive ⇒ slow cooling

volcanic rocks ⇒ on the surface ⇒ extrusive ⇒ quick cooling

Among the options, there are three descriptions that match the igneous rocks,

  • cooled quickly ⇒ this is the case of extrusive rocks, when lava gets in contact with cold air and quickly cristalizes.
  • intrusive origin ⇒ this is the case of magma that slowly cristalizes near the crust
  • created by lava ⇒ this is the case of all igneous rocks.

If we need to find only one of these options, we could choose option D, created by lava, since it involves all types of ingeous rocks.
