Answer

Brief Explanations:

When magma cools slowly (over hundreds of years), minerals have more time to grow. Slow - cooling allows atoms to arrange themselves into larger crystal structures. In contrast, if magma cools quickly (e.g., as in volcanic lava), fine - grained or glassy (no crystals) rocks form. Irregular structures are not the typical result of slow - cooling magma for mineral crystals.

Large
