Here's why:
* Phaneritic refers to the texture of the rock, meaning the crystals are large enough to be visible to the naked eye.
* These crystals form when magma cools slowly underground, giving the minerals time to grow large.
Some examples of phaneritic igneous rocks include:
* Granite: A light-colored, coarse-grained rock rich in quartz and feldspar.
* Diorite: A dark-colored, coarse-grained rock containing plagioclase feldspar and hornblende.
* Gabbro: A dark-colored, coarse-grained rock made up of pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar.
