Answer:

Cooling rates

Explanation:

The rate of cooling directly correlates with the crystal size in an igneous rock.

Crystal size of igneous rocks can be used to construe the way a melt cools.

  • When a melt cools rapidly, little to no crystal forms.
  • The nucleation center becomes very small and therefore, the mineral sizes are in turn very fine.
  • When a melt has enough time to cool, bigger mineral grains will crystalize.
  • This is because nucleation centers have more time to develop.
