What factors affect the texture of igneous rock?
the length of time the magma had to cool
What factors can affect the texture of an igneous rock?
The length of time the magma had to cool
An intrusive igneous rock will have what type of texture?
Intrusive igneous rock has a coarse, visible crystalline texture. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed from slow cooling of magma. The additional time spent in a liquid state allows for the creation of larger mineral crystals. An igneous rock with a coarse texture is said to be phaneritic.
What igneous rock has no visible crystals?
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
What is the size of crystals in an igneous rock called?
Granular texture.
What are the factors that controls most texture in igneous rocks?
magma or lava controls most texture in igneous rock
What factors affect the texture of igneous rock?

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 factors can affect the texture of an igneous rock?

What is pegmatite texture?
A pegmatite texture in a rock is a course-grained Igneous Rock. Granite Pegmatite is a common Igneous rock
What is the texture of igneous rock?
Phaneritic is the texture of igneous rocks. These types of rocks crystallized slowly.
What texture does and extrusive igneous rock have?
fined grain texture
What is the texture of the rock andesite?

What kind of texture does igneous rock have when it cools rapidly?
coarse texture
What effect does weathering have on igneous rock?
The effect of weathering is to reduce the volume of the igneous rock.
An intrusive igneous rock will have what type of texture?
