What are two different igneous rock textures?

What are 2 textures of metamorphic rock?
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
An igneous rock that has two or more different sized crystals because its cooling rate has changed is called an?
An igneous rock that has two or more different sized crystals due to a change in cooling rate is called a porphyritic rock. This rock typically has larger crystals (phenocrysts) embedded in a fine-grained matrix, which indicates that the rock underwent a two-stage cooling process.
What are the two types of textures?
Rough and smooth would be the two basic textures.
What is the process of matching rock layers in two different places?
The process of matching rock layers in two different places is called correlation. Geologists study the lithology, fossils, and relative positions of rock layers to determine if they are the same age and originated from the same geological event. Correlating rock layers helps geologists understand the Earth's history and past environments.

Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
The rocks may have different textures
How do two igneous rocks have the same mineral composition but different textures?
The texture of an igneous rock refers to the size of its mineral crystals. If the common magma of both igneous rocks has experienced differences in cooling rates due to depth, they will have different textures. Slow cooling produces large crystals, and quick cooling produces small crystals. Granite and rhyolite are two igneous rocks sharing the same mineral composition, but having undergone different rates of magma cooling due to depth at solidification.
Do you cook cheesecake?
There are two types of cheesecakes: Chilled and baked. They use different recipes and have different textures. Both are good.
How many syllables in the word textures?
Textures has two syllables.
What are the two main textures of rock?
The two main textures of rock are intrusive (coarse-grained) and extrusive (fine-grained). Intrusive rocks form underground and have larger crystals due to slower cooling, while extrusive rocks form on the Earth's surface and have smaller crystals due to rapid cooling.
What is the displacment of two bodies of rock called?
The displacement between two bodies of rock is called the fault.
