The crystal the size of an igneous rock is described as its what?
texture
The igneous rock texture characterized by two distinctly different crystal sizes is the texture?
Porphyritic
Does igneous rock texture refers to size?
please anyone else can answer this question I'm in hurry pls.
What is pegmatite texture?
A pegmatite texture in a rock is a course-grained Igneous Rock. Granite Pegmatite is a common Igneous rock
Which rock is an intrusive igneous rock?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed from solidified magma below the surface of the Earth. Intrusive rock exhibits a phaneritic texture, where the individual crystal grains are visible without magnification. Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, diorite, and gabbro.

What do large crystal grains in an igneous rock indicate?
A vesicular igneous texture generally indicates rapid cooling.
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 are the three major characteristics that geologists use to identify igneous rocks?
size, shape, and relationship to the surrounding rock layers
How are igneous rock classified?
Igneous rocks are generally classified first on the basis of their formation (and therefore their texture) as intrusive or extrusive. Intrusive rocks are solidified from magma under the surface resulting in a visible crystalline texture, and extrusive igneous rocks are solidified from lava at or near the surface, resulting in a small or nearly invisible crystalline texture. Igneous rock can additionally be classified by general chemistry composition as felsic, intermediate, mafic, and ultramafic. Felsic rocks are higher in silica and aluminum. Mafic rocks are higher in magnesium and iron.
Type of crystal grain that form when molten rock cools quickly?
Small crystal grains form when molten rock cools quickly. In an extrusive igneous rock, it's referred to as aphanitic texture.
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.
