Why are some igneous rocks coarse and others are smooth

Geography
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
6 0

The reason why some igneous rocks are smooth and some are coarse is the manner in which they formed. We can simply divide the igneous rocks into intrusive and extrusive ones.

The intrusive igneous rocks are formed deep into the ground. The magma that has formed this rocks has been exposed to higher temperatures and pressures. That has led to a very slow cooling off of the magma. Because the magma has been cooling off slowly, the crystals had time and the right conditions to grow larger, thus making the intrusive igneous rocks coarse.

The extrusive igneous rocks are formed on the surface. They have been formed by the lava that once it come out on the surface has been exposed to much lower temperatures and pressures. That has led to very quick cooling off of the lava. Because the lava has cooled off quickly, the crystals didn't had time to grow in size, thus they have remained very small, almost unnoticeable, thus making the extrusive igneous rocks smoother.

Can yall pls help Asap!!
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

1. (x-4), (y+4)

2. In a transformation, the equation shows how much the original coordinate moves. In the equation above, the orignal coordinate would move to the left 4 places, and then up 4 places. This particular transformation is called a translation, as the shape is the same but only in a different spot.

3. Quadrilateral

4. The transformed polygon has the apostrophes after each letter, which means it is "prime" or not the original.

Explanation:

1. To write the equation, look at how the shape shifts. If the x coordinate moved 4 spaces to the left, then that means the equation is -4. Do the same for the y-coordinate, except keep in mind it is up and down instead of left or right.

2. The answer is self-explanatory.

3. A quadrilateral has 4 sides, and this can be applied to more specific shapes, such as a square or rectangle. Because this shape has no distinctive features, it is safest to call it a quadrilateral.

4. The answer is self-explanatory.
