That is, if you observe the spectrum of a star and can determine the wavelength where the emission peaks (Î»max), you can calculate that starâs temperature. Here is another copy of the plot that we studied in Lesson 3: Figure 4.1: Two-dimensional plot of the spectrum of a blackbody with different temperatures.
Igneous rocks usually contain the most crystals. The longer it takes the magma to cool, the larger the crystals.
Granite has large crystals. If the magma cools slowly, large crystals form in the rock. This can happen if the magma cools deep underground. Granite and gabbro are examples of this type of rock. They are intrusive igneous rocks because they form from magma underground.he inside of the Earth is very hot-hot enough to melt rocks. Molten (liquid) rock forms when rocks melt. The molten rock is called magma. When the magma cools and solidifies, a type of rock called igneous rock forms.
