Is granite crystal or grain size?
granite's crystal size varies from 1 mm to 10 mm
What is the Size of granite grain?
Granite is considered a coarse grained rock.
What size are the crystals in marble?
They are usually Medium size compared to those in Granite and compared to Basalt.
What is the crystal size in a extrusive rock?
the size of crystals in extrusive roks
The crystal the size of an igneous rock is described as its what?
texture
What is the crystal size for Gabbro?
LOL ROFLOL quite big.

Size of crystals of Gabbro?
Please someone answer the question, what is the size of gabbro?
Dolerite and gabbro are both igneous rocks Dolerite has crystals about 1 mm across and gabbro has crystals about 5 mm across What does this indicate about the formation of these rocks?
In comparison to the slower cooled magma that created the gabbro, the dolerite has formed closer to the surface. This means that there was less time for crystal growth before it cooled into rock, resulting in the difference in crystal size between the two.
State one observable characteristic other than crystal size that makes granite different from basalt?
Granite is lighter in color than basalt.
What is the size of granite?
Granite does not have a specified size. It may be small as a pebble or as big as a mountain. However, granite is said to be phaneritic in texture which means that the crystal sizes are large enough to see with the naked eye and are not larger than thumb-sized crystals.
What is the difference between rhyolite and granite?
The difference is the size of grains. Rhyolite is the felsic igneous rock with fine-grained size. Whereas, granite is the equivalent in composition but with coarse-grained size.
What determines the size of the crystal that form in a sample of granite?
Crystal size in igneous rock is predominately a factor of time spent in cooling from lava or magma. Samples with relatively large crystals are the result of the magma having spent a longer amount of time at ideal crystal forming temperatures for each mineral present.
Which igneous rock has the same chemical composition as basalt but a different grain size?
a hot dogs mother in laws mother to the horse in the backyard
Igneous rocks may be similar in mineral composition and yet have different?
Texture or crystal size.
How does a basalt differ from gabbro?
Gabbro has much larger grains that basalt does. This is because basalt cools faster than gabbro and has less time to form crystals.
What is the Size of granite grain?
Granite is considered a coarse grained rock.
