not sure but i know it's an example of interlocking grains.. Interlocking visible crystals would be good descriptive words for granite.
Granite is composed of interlocking mineral crystals of quartz, micas, and feldspars mainly.
Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
Interlocking rocks are basically crystals. They form together and make crystals. So that's were crystal come from in most shops. So now you know that an example of an interlocking rock is a crystal
No and yes, technically. Pumice does form from cooling magma (cools extremely fast, in fact, almost instantly). Because of this rapid cooling the crystals are extremely small to the point of many geologists considering pumice to be microcrystalline or glassy, meaning there wasn't enough time for actual crystals to form.

i think that basalt is the smaller crystals out of the two, as the crystals in granite are larger.
Granite is very resistant to fracture because of its interlocking mineral crystal structure.
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust, characterized by its interlocking crystals of minerals like feldspar, quartz, and mica. Sandstone, on the other hand, is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized mineral particles and rock fragments, usually cemented together by minerals like quartz or calcite. Granite is more durable and resistant to weathering compared to sandstone.
