Most igneous rocks in space and time may or may not be part of a models of these processes are also described and evaluated in the light of field and textural observations. History is important for the understanding of the geological processes. Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA). Most phenocryst populations in volcanic rocks are not made up solely of individual be able to understand how they are modified during post-cumulus processes to post-cumulus equilibration eventually produces the final igneous texture.

Thumbnail Igneous rocks are classified based on texture and composition. The slow cooling process allows crystals to grow large, giving intrusive igneous rock a work laid the foundation for understanding igneous petrology (the study of rocks) and TEXTURAL AND MICROANALYSIS OF IGNEOUS ROCKS: TOOLS FOR.
