What is Factors Influencing Igneous Rock Textures about?

The cooling rate of magma is the main factor that determines the texture of igneous rocks. Other important factors include the diffusion rate of atoms in the liquid, the rate of nucleation of new crystals, and the rate of crystal growth. For crystals to form, the chemical constituents must come together to form a nucleus, then diffuse to the growing crystal surface where the crystal can grow until contacting other crystals or the supply is depleted. All of these rates depend strongly on temperature, and cry
