Igneous Rocks

Question 11 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

An igneous rock is found on the ground and has no identifiable crystals. What is the most likely origin of this rock?

Answer
A
molten material that cooled slowly
B
molten material that cooled quickly
C
rock that was eroded by surrounding rocks
D
rock that was exposed to extreme pressure

Explanation

Igneous rocks form when molten material cools and solidifies. If it cools quickly, crystals have little time to grow and may be too small to identify, so the most likely origin is molten material that cooled quickly.
