How does the cooling rate of magma affect the texture?
Magma is a mixture of molten rock, volatiles and solids that is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and may also exist on other terrestrial planets. Fast cooling does not allow crystals to grow large, and a part of the melt does not crystallize at all, becoming glass. Rock largely composed of volcanic glass include obsidian, scoria and pumice.
