Answer:

Extrusive igneous rock is formed by the crystallization of magma release after volcanic eruption at the Earth surface. They are characterized by fine grained textures because of rapid cooling they do not form large crystals. Extrusive rocks  with fine grained textures are called aphanitic rocks. The most common extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Other examples include rhyolite, andesite and obsidian. Extrusive igneous rocks erupt quickly and they form small crystals. Some of these rocks cools slowly that they form glass. These rocks includes andesite, basalt, dacite, obsidian, pumice, rhyolite, scoria and tuff.  

The common characteristic of extrusive igneous rock is the b. forms crystals

Rapid cooling of magma produces small crystal rocks.

The answer is; C

Extrusive rock is one that forms when magma finds its way to the surface of the earth. The lava cools quite fast compared to intrusive rock that cools before it reaches the earth's surface. Lava that cools fast forms small crystals. Examples of extrusive rocks include; basalt, obsidian, and rhyolite.   Intrusive rocks cool slowly and form large crystals.

Which of the following is a nonpoint source of water pollution
Leokris [45]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Rainwater pouring from an eroded bank into a river" is a non-point source of water pollution.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Bank erosion is the washing away of stream or river banks. This is distinct from erosion of the watercourse bed, known as scour. These erosion undermines the roots of trees which develop by a lake. As the roots closely connect the soil, they form abutments that jut out above the surface.

Non-point source water contamination is induced by widespread and isolated waste sources such as rain and snowmelt runoff, spills, leaks, and sediment erosions. To release any pollutant, without a permit, from a point source into navigable waters is illegal according to the Clean Water Act.
