Day 9
Why do some igneous rocks have large
crystals while others have small crystals or
no crystals at all?
Some form underground, where the
temperature is very warm. The magma
cools slowly, allowing large crystals to
form. Others form at the surface, where
the temperature is cooler. The lava cools
quickly, so crystals don’t have time to get
very big, and they may not form at all.

Convection Currents



magma near the
core heats and rises
cooler magma sinks
to take its place
results in a motion
cycle called
convection
