Large grains are easier to see than fine grains.

it is fine grained because the grains that make it up are to small to see
No. In fact, in fine-grained rocks the grains are often impossible to see without a microscope.
Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.
Fine-grained sand generally erodes fasterthan coarse-grained sand.
fine-grained
Fine grains usually form due to rapid cooling
No, they are composed of fine-grained sediments, grains of which are generally too small to see with the unaided eye. This makes them easily distinguished from rocks like granite, which are composed of grains of minerals large enough to easily identify.
They are rocks formed from lava at or near the surface. Basalt is a typical fine-grained extrusive igneous rock, composed of mineral crystals that require magnification to see. The fine-grained texture is due to rapid solidification of the lava which leaves little time for large mineral crystal formation.
Granite is actually coarse grained and not fine grained. It is coarse grained because it came from the component of the continental crust.
shale is fine grained
Limestone is primarily composed of the mineral calcite and may be very fine-grained, oolitic, or fossiliferous.
