The crystal the size of an igneous rock is described as its what?
texture
Large-size crystals are known as phaneritic .?
Texture
What is rock texture?
Texture refers to the size and orientation of the mineral crystals or clasts contained within the rock.
What is an example of how texture can provide clues as to how and where a rock is formed?
To determine the texture of rock when rock is forming , you must test the mohs hardness scale and wait for the feedback. Then analyze the information into categories of largest to smallest. Once you do that you must share your answer if it is either igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
What does phaneritic mean?
Phaneritic refers to igneous rock grain size,which is visible with the naked eye.
What size of rock texture refers to igneous rock?
The size of the mineral crystals in an igneous rock determines the rock's texture.

What is the size of crystals in an igneous rock called?
Granular texture.
The texture of an igneous rock depends on the size and the shape of its what?
mineral crystals

What texture is igneous?
igneous is the texture of igneous rocks. The texture of igneous rocks is defined by 3 ways: a) Crystallinity- it expresses the degree of formation of crystals in an igneous rock. the texture of an igneous rock may be Holocyrstalline (Completely characterised by crystals, Hemicrystalline (partially having crystals) and holocrystalline (no crystals). b) Granularity- it is the size of the grains. it may be equigranular (when mineral grains are equal in size) or inequigranular (when mineral grains are not equal in size). c) shape of crystals- The shape of crystals may be Euhedral (When all crystals are of same shape), Subhedral (when they are partially similar in shape), Anhedral (when they are completely different in shape).
What are the three major characteristics that geologists use to identify igneous rocks?
size, shape, and relationship to the surrounding rock layers
What does phaneritic mean?
Phaneritic refers to igneous rock grain size,which is visible with the naked eye.
How is the size of mineral crystals in igneous rock related to the rate at which they cool?
When igneous rocks cool quickly, they have small crystals and have a texture that may be described as aphanitic. When igneous rocks cool slowly, they have much larger crystals and have a texture that may be described as phaneritic or pegmatitic.
