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.


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.


How can you identify an igneous rock?

Intrusive igneous rock is composed of visible mineral crystals, possessing what is referred to as a phaneritic texture. This is evidence that slow cooling of magma occurred deep underground.

Basalt and rhyolite both are extrusive igneous rock that contains mineral crystals. However, the mineral crystals are normally less than 1 mm in diameter, and are therefore not discernible without magnification.


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.
