PLS HELP!!!
A fine-grained igneous rock forms _____.


A. from magma

B. as a result of quick cooling

C. as a result of slow cooling

D. deep within Earth

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option B, as a result of quick cooling

Due to quick cooling, the minerals do not get sufficient time to grow and thus their texture remains glassy and fine. The texture of an igneous rock depends on the rate of cooling of the magma released during volcanic eruptions. Slow cooling causes formation of large crystals while quick cooling causes formation of small crystals.
