How does texture affect grain size in rock?

It doesn't. The grain size effects the texture. If a rock has a small grain size, it will have a smooth texture. If the grain size is large, such as pebbles, the texture will be rough. For example, siltstone is one of the smoothest rocks because it contains silt particles, which are .0004cm to .006cm. Conglomerate though contains various particles including cobbles and boulders, which are from 10cm to 100cm.

Sediment sorting-Range of particle sizes layering- stratification of sediments and rocks texture- grain size grain Roundness- loss of edges on sediment grains (just took the Quiz of apex!)


How composition and texture are used to classify rock?

mineral composition is the minerals that the rocks are made of texture refers to the grain size (sediments or interlocking crystals) of the different components of that rock


Why do rocks differ in color and texture?

Rocks can be made of assemblages of different minerals whose crystals may be of varying size. This variation in composition and grain size results in a plethora of rock types of different density, color, texture and fabric.
