Do granite and gabbro have similar crystal size?
Yes.
What is grain according to geologists?
Grain refers to particle or crystal size in rock.
What is the crystal grain size of dolomite?
Limestone is a fine grained sedimentary rock.
What is a type of crystal grain that forms when rock cools Slowly?
When molten rock cools slowly, it will have a lot of time to form crystals, so the crystal size will be quite big. Take granite, for example. With the naked eye, you can see the individual crystals. The grain size is quite large. The kind of mineral that forms is dependent on the composition of the magma.
What crystal or grain is granite made from?
marble

What is a factor that controls grain size in igneos rocks?
Crystal size in igneous rocks is controlled by the rate of cooling whereby the slower the rate, the larger the size of crystal.
What are the grains of rock?
Grains: Grains that are not crystals in rock do not have flat shiny faces. They are rounded, like grain of sand, or jagged, like a piece of broken rock. Grain Size: Grain size in rocks can mean the size of crystal grains or of fragments: Coarse Grained: most of the rock is made of grains as largeas rice, or larger.

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.
Does granite have a definit formula?
No the term "Granite" covers a variety of specific rock types and also implies a particular grain size. However Granites do have a characteristic mineralogy.
Is granite jagged?
Yes, granite's grain shape is jagged.
