Answer:

D. It formed from magma that cooled quickly

Explanation:

From several experiments, geologists have come to terms with the fact that when magma cools rapidly, it does not give room for large and big sized crystals to form. Instead, tiny, little crystals would be formed.

For example, obsidian and most volcanic rocks.

When a magma has enough time to cool and solidify, we see very big crystals of minerals in them.

Where does photosynthesis occur in the biosphere? Check all that apply.
Dmitry [639]
The energy required to drive nutrient cycling is obtained by processes occurring in the biosphere. The primary source of energy for ecosystem processes is photosynthesis. Directly or indirectly, photosynthesis provides the energy for all forms of life in the biosphere. Photosynthesis utilizes energy from the sun to reduce CO2<span> into high energy organic compounds. Subsequently, the energy contained in these organic compounds is released by the process of respiration. The respiration process releases energy by oxidizing the high energy bonds of the organic compounds, the energy released being used to perform all the metabolic processes of biota.
