Answer 8

To determine the characteristic of an igneous rock that forms quickly, we need to consider the cooling process. When magma cools quickly, as is the case with volcanic eruptions, it does not provide enough time for large mineral crystals to form. Therefore, the characteristic associated with igneous rocks that form quickly would be small sand grains. This is because the time constraint prevents the minerals from growing and arranging themselves into larger crystal structures. So, the correct answer is small sand grains.
