O What is the surface area of the large cube?
(ii) Imagine the large and small cubes are heated in a furnace to 500°C and removed. Which will cool faster, the large
cube or the smaller ones?

(iii) Explain why this happens.
Rule 3 of magma cooling: Circle the correct choice. A small mass of magma loses heat (faster/slower) than a large one.
(d) Now you can put the rules to use.
