What is the range of grain size for coarse grained igneous
The texture of a rock refers to the size, shape and arrangement of the mineral grains in the rock that give the rock its overall appearance. The most important, but not only, factor that controls the grain size of a rock is its cooling history. Grain size tells us much about the crystallisation of an igneous rock.

Coarse aggregates are particulates that are greater than 9.5mm. The usual range employed is between 9.5mm and 37.5mm in diameter. Typically the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm. A larger size, 40mm, is more common in mass concrete. Larger aggregate diameters reduce the quantity of cement and water needed because of its
