Intrusive Igneous Rocks (formed underground)
* Granite: A very common phaneritic rock, typically light-colored with large crystals of quartz, feldspar, and mica.
* Diorite: Similar to granite, but contains less quartz and more plagioclase feldspar.
* Gabbro: Dark-colored and dense, composed mainly of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene.
* Syenite: Similar to granite but with less quartz and more alkali feldspar.
* Monzonite: A mix between granite and diorite, containing both quartz and plagioclase feldspar.
* Peridotite: A very dense, dark-colored rock rich in olivine and pyroxene, found deep within the Earth's mantle.
Examples of Phaneritic Rocks in Different Environments:
* Batholiths: Massive, underground bodies of granite that can form mountain ranges.
* Stocks: Smaller, more localized bodies of granite that often rise through existing rock formations.
* Dikes: Vertical intrusions of magma that cut through existing rocks.
* Sills: Horizontal intrusions of magma that flow between layers of existing rocks.
It's important to note that while these rocks are typically phaneritic, there can be variations in the size of their crystals depending on the specific cooling rate and other factors.
