What gives a rock its texture?
The texture of a rock depends on the minerals and/or fossils it contains, as well as the processes the components of the rock went through when it was form. For example, a pumice rock (the one that has a lot of holes) has its texture because the magma that form it lost a lot gas, and while the gas escaped the holes started to form. On the other side, some sedimentary rocks have a lot fossils which gives them their specific texture as well as sedimentary rocks can have ripples which means the sediments that constitute that rock were joint together in a beache where waves were moving constantly. The shape of these waves can tell geologists the direction of the current when the rock was formed.
How can you tell limestone is igneous?
Limestone is not an igneous rock, it is sedimentary.
What is an example of how texture can provide clues as to how and where a rock is formed?
To determine the texture of rock when rock is forming , you must test the mohs hardness scale and wait for the feedback. Then analyze the information into categories of largest to smallest. Once you do that you must share your answer if it is either igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
How can you tell if sedimentary rock is undisturbed?
That would depend on the meaning of 'undisturbed'.
How can you tell whether a rock cliff beside a highway is made of igneous rock or sedimentry rock?
sedimentary rock is a multiple of layers
Is the moon sedimentary rock?
yes they are you have to look at a normole one can tell you
How do we classify rock?
PYROCLASTIC ROCKS AND TEPHRA, Pyroclasts .
What features tell you how a sedimentary rocked is layered?
Sedimentary rocks are often deposited in layers as strata. The feature that tells how a sedimentary rock is layered is called the bedding.
How you can tell an igneous rock from a sedimentary rock from a metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of molten rock (magma/lava), sedimentary rocks form from the deposition and lithification of sediment particles, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of pre-existing rock due to heat and pressure. Igneous rocks often have a crystalline texture, sedimentary rocks may contain layers or fossils, and metamorphic rocks often have foliated or banded textures.
How do you tell the difference between Obsidian rock and Coal Flint rock?
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that is typically black and glassy in appearance, whereas coal is a sedimentary rock that is typically black and dull in appearance. Flint is a hard, sedimentary rock that often has a dark grey or black color with a smooth or waxy texture, whereas coal is formed from plant matter and is combustible.
What is the relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed?
The relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed is that the texture depends on whether or not the rock is an extrusive rock or an intrusive rock. Those two different types of classifications for rocks tell you what the texture will be. For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
