What else can I help you with?
What observation about an igneous rock would support the inference that the rock cooled slowly underground?
The rock would have visible mineral crystals--a phaneritic texture.
What is the difference between hardness and texture?
Hardness usually is used to describe the difficulty of separating the molecules of a material or substance. The texture is simply how the material or substance feels.
WHAT IS THE difference between texture and simulated texture?
Actual texture is texture that you can feel, whereas visual or implied texture is when something looks like it has a texture it does not. For instance, the actual texture of a painting may be smooth, but the visual/implied texture may be rough and bumpy.
What is the difference between sycamore trees and cottonwood trees?
the tree bark has a different texture and style and the cottonwood has softer bark. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What is the difference between real and visual texture?
Real texture physically exists on the art object- consider rust on a metal statue, or thickly-applied paint on an oil painting. Visual texture is the aesthetic representation of real texture- consider a photograph of rust. It shows the texture, but the photograph itself is smooth. Likewise, a smooth painting depicting rust.
Rocks with visible crystals display what is known as a phaneritic 'blank'?
The display a phaneritic texture.
Describe the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?
Coarse-grained phaneritic rocks have mineral grains that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye, giving them a rough texture. Fine-grained aphaneritic rocks have much smaller mineral grains that are not individually visible, resulting in a smooth or fine texture.
Large-size crystals are known as phaneritic .?
Texture
What is the texture of igneous rocks with large crystals that slow cooling produces?
The texture of igneous rocks with large crystals that form from slow cooling is called phaneritic. This texture indicates that the minerals had enough time to grow large enough to be visible to the naked eye. Examples of rocks with phaneritic texture include granite and diorite.
What is the texture of igneous rock?
Phaneritic is the texture of igneous rocks. These types of rocks crystallized slowly.
What texture represents a single long period cooling and crystallization?
phaneritic
What is the difference between phaneritic and aphanitic texture?
Phaneritic texture refers to igneous rocks that have large, visible crystals, typically formed from slow cooling of magma beneath the Earth's surface. In contrast, aphanitic texture describes rocks with small, fine-grained crystals that are not easily visible to the naked eye, indicating rapid cooling of lava at or near the surface. The size of the crystals in these textures provides insights into the cooling history and environment of the rock formation.
How does one clastic detrital sedimentary rock have a texture and composition different than another?
Different clastic sediments have different textures based on the size, shape, and sorting of the grains they are composed of. The composition of a clastic sedimentary rock will vary depending on the mineralogy of the grains present in the rock. Factors such as the source rock, transportation distance, and depositional environment can all contribute to the differences in texture and composition between clastic sedimentary rocks.
What is the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphanitic rocks?
Phaneritic rock has visible identifiable crystal grains. Aphanitic rock has crystal grains that are too small to be visible with the naked eye. In igneous rock, the difference is due to the amount of time spent in cooling. Long term cooling of magma underground leads to large crystals, rapid cooling of lava above ground leads to small crystal texture.
Is granite rock porphyritic?
Granite rock is not porphyritic. It is phaneritic because it has a coarse-grained texture.
Large size crystals are known as phaneritic what?
Large size crystals that are known as phaneritic are typically found in intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing the crystals time to grow to visible sizes. Phaneritic textures are characterized by crystals that are easily visible to the naked eye.
Rocks that contain crystals that are roughly equal in size and can be identified with the unaided eye are said to exhibit a 'blank' texture?
Coarse grained.
