Ever wondered why plutonic rocks, like granite, exhibit such large and visible mineral grains? This video delves into the geological processes that dictate the texture of these fascinating igneous formations.

Discover the key factors behind the coarse-grained nature of plutonic rocks:
► Plutonic rocks form deep beneath Earth's surface where magma cools slowly.
► Slow cooling allows ample time for mineral crystals to grow to larger sizes.
► The insulation provided by surrounding rock prevents rapid heat loss, promoting crystal growth.
► This distinct texture is a direct result of their intrusive formation environment.
