Rocks that are square and have blocky crystals are typically referred to as "granite" or "granitoid" rocks. These rocks are composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica, and their blocky crystals result from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust. The term can also refer to the specific crystal form known as "cubic" or "blocky," which is characteristic of certain minerals like halite or pyrite.

What are some rocks that are strong?
Diamond.A diamond is a crystal, and a crystal is a rock with neatly arranged atoms.
Which rocks have the most air spaces grainy rocks or crystal rocks?
Grainy rocks tend to have more air spaces compared to crystal rocks. This is because grainy rocks are composed of loosely packed grains, allowing for more air to be trapped between the particles. Crystal rocks, on the other hand, have a more tightly packed crystalline structure with little to no space for air.
How and why is the crystal size affected by how fast rocks cool?
because it just is
What rocks are composed of minerals that form with blocky crystals shapes?
Igneous rocks, such as granite, are composed of minerals that form blocky crystal shapes. The cooling process of magma allows these blocky crystals to crystallize and grow within the rock. This results in the characteristic interlocking crystal structure seen in igneous rocks.

What is a crystal lined rock called?
A crystal-lined rock is commonly referred to as a geode. Geodes are spherical rocks that contain a hollow cavity lined with crystals, typically formed in volcanic rocks or sedimentary deposits.
What is a crystal-lined rock called?
A crystal-lined rock is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain sparkling crystals inside, formed by minerals depositing in the cavities of the rock over time.
Which rock absorbs water grainy rocks or crystal rocks?
Grainy rocks not only absorbs water better than crystal rocks, but it filters the water as well.
What are porphyritic rocks?
Porphyritic Rocks are rocks that have big and small crystal's like the Igneous Rock "Andesite".
What are synonyms of geode?
crystal rocks, I guess.
