Answer 1

An igneous rock that forms quickly is typically characterized by small sand grains. This is because rapid cooling leads to the formation of fine-grained textures, where individual crystals do not have time to grow large. In contrast, large mineral crystals are usually associated with slower cooling processes, and smooth, sharp textures and evidence of folding are not typical characteristics of igneous rocks.
