True. When magma cools rapidly, such as when it erupts and comes into contact with water or air, there is less time for mineral crystals to grow, resulting in smaller crystals. Conversely, slower cooling allows for larger crystals to form, as the minerals have more time to arrange themselves into a crystalline structure.
