What else can I help you with?
What is the texture called when an igneous rock with large crystals scattered on a background of much smaller crystals?
The texture is called porphyritic. It forms when an igneous rock cools at different rates, resulting in large crystals (phenocrysts) surrounded by a matrix of smaller crystals (groundmass).
If a granite rocks was made of smaller crystals if would be called?
If a granite rock is made of smaller crystals, it would be called fine-grained or fine-grained granite.
A rock with large crystals surrounded by small crystals called?
The rock is called porphyry, which forms when magma slowly cools beneath the Earth's surface. The large crystals are known as phenocrysts, and the smaller surrounding crystals are called groundmass or matrix.
What is an extrusive igneous rock with a composition similar to granite but with smaller crystals?
An extrusive igneous rock with a composition similar to granite but with smaller crystals is called rhyolite. Rhyolite forms from the rapid cooling of magma at the Earth's surface, resulting in fine-grained crystals. It is light in color and rich in silica, similar to granite.
. As the rate of cooling of igneous rocks increases the size of the crystals that form?
The size of crystals decreases as the cooling increases. This is called an inverse relationship.

Why do some rocks have both small and large crystals?
It depends how slow/fast it cools into a rock. The slower it cools, the larger the crystals. The faster it cools, the smaller the crystals. It can also have no crystals. Let's say lava shot itself into the water. It cools so fast it might not have crystals

The size of crystals decreases as the cooling increases. This is called an inverse relationship.
What are scattered rubbish called?
Litter.
What is it called when particles scatter light?
The phenomenon is called Rayleigh scattering. It occurs when light interacts with particles that are much smaller in size than the wavelength of the light, causing the light to be scattered in all directions. This is why the sky appears blue, as shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer wavelengths like red.
What is rubbish called when its scattered?
Debris, littered...
What is the size of crystals in an igneous rock called?
The size of crystals in an igneous rock is called texture. Texture can range from fine-grained (small crystals) to coarse-grained (large crystals).
Rock formations called geodes are filled with layers of crystals. which group of words form the complete predicate?
everything from called to crystals is your predicate.
What is the area in the background of a picture called?
The area in the background of a picture is called the background or backdrop.
