Question

Choose all the answers that apply. Granite cools slowly below Earth's surface. It _____.

Answer 1

Answer: Hence, option 'A' and 'D' are correct.

Explanation:

Granite cools slowly below the surface of Earth.

It has large crystals.

It is an intrusive igneous rock.

Since the Earth is hot from inside that could melt even rocks.

When the magma cools, it becomes solid and then forms igneous rocks.

That's why igneous rock is known as the parent rock.

Due to slow process of cooling inside the Earth, crystals get enough time to grow and at last it becomes large in size.

Hence, option 'a' and 'd' are correct.
