Question

Match the texture of the igneous rock with the process that formed it.

Fine-grained                                A. Magma cooled slowly at the surface or upper crust

Vesicular                                      B. Magma that cooled rapidly at the surface or upper crust

Coarse-grained                            C. Magma cooled slowly, beneath the surface

Porphytic Texture                         D. Magma of high silica content was ejected intot he atmosphere, cooling immediately

Glassy Texture                             E. Magma cooled in two separate environments, first slowly, then more quickly

                                                     F. Magma cooled rapidly, contained tiny gas bubbles
