Explain the difference between cross-hatching and impasto in creating a sense of texture. why would an artist select one over the other?

Cross-hatching is made by shading with two or more sets of intersecting parallel lines.
Impasto is where paint is applied with heavy strokes and a lot of it with each stroke. This technique creates uneven texture with a lot on paint.
When trying to create a sense of texture, impasto would be more useful.

One is symmetrical, one is radial.
