The texture depends on the size and shape of the crystals you see in it. The larger the crystals, the slower the rate of cooling. This suggests that it is an intrusive rock. Smaller crystals suggest more rapid cooling indicating that it is an extrusive rock. INTRUSIVE- cooled inside the earth and had more time to create crystals EXTRUSIVE- cooled on the surface of the earth and created small crystals
Completely molten rock would not contain any crystals. Most magmas, however, are a mixture of molten and solid crystals of some sort. It is possible that a magma could contain larger crystals of a specific mineral.
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
Pretty much all of them with the exception of things like obsidian, which is a glass and by definition not crystalline. Note that the crystals in question may be extremely small (microcrystalline).
A foliated metamorphic rock forms when crystals combine and form visible bands
Crystals are about 12 dollars.
A rock with large crystals scattered on a background of much smaller crystals is called a porphyry. This rock texture is the result of two stages of cooling, where large crystals formed during the slower cooling stage, followed by smaller crystals forming during rapid cooling.
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).
Intrusive rock normally has visible crystals. Extrusive igneous rock has small crystals. A black extrusive igneous rock with small crystals could be basalt.
The size of the crystals is a function of the rate of cooling of the molten rock. The faster the molten rock cools, the smaller the crystals will be.
The rock with crystals inside in can be igneous rock, but no, idk about the minerals.
The crystals in a rock are often referred to as mineral crystals. They are formed as the molten rock cools and solidifies, allowing minerals to crystallize and grow within the rock. The size, shape, and arrangement of these crystals can provide clues about the rock's formation and history.
Granite with larger crystals, basalt with smaller crystals.
