Volcanic rocks are usually fine-grained or aphanitic to glass in texture. They often contain clasts of other rocks and phenocrysts. Phenocrysts are crystals that are larger than the matrix and are identifiable with the unaided eye.Rhomb porphyry is an example with large rhomb shaped phenocrysts embedded in a very fine grained matrix.Volcanic rocks often have a vesicular texture caused by voids left by volatiles trapped in the molten lava.henocrysts are crystals that are larger than the matrix and are identifiable with the unaided eye.

The actual temperature in space is about 3Â°K (-270Â°C or three degrees Celsius above Absolute Zero). There are still molecules in space, just very few of them, and this is their temperature. Absolute zero is a theoretical temperature where the thermal kinetic energy of the molecules in a body goes to zero.
That question is sure to prompt the geeks among us to pipe up with â2.7Kâ. For 2.7 Kelvin, or 2.7 degrees above absolute zero, is the temperature produced by the uniform background radiation or âafterglowâ from the Big Bang. But hang on. Evidently you donât hit temperatures that low the moment you step outside the Earthâs atmosphere.
