When a mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has a?
no texture
Does marble have interlocking grains?
Limestone grains are interlocking. The simple test to see if a rock's grains are interlocking is to put a drop of water on the surface. If the rock is interlocking, the water will remain on the surface. If it is not interlocking, the water will start to percolate through the rock. :).
What is a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
schist
Rock that is formed by sand and mineral particles pressed together?
This will form a clastic sedimentary rock. If it is predominantly composed of sand sized grains then it will form a Sandstone.
What is the powdered form of a mineral?
The powder indicates the true color of the mineral and is an aid in mineral identification. That can also be called a streak.

i dont know, try another site.

When mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has what texture?
no texture
Why is the texture of obsidian is best contain few or no minerals grains?
Obsidian cools so quickly the mineral grains do not have time to form.
What is a type of metamorphic rock in which mineral grains grow and rearrange but do not form layers?
schist
Glassy igneous rocks form when magma cools too fast for mineral grains to grow?
yes
Do Glassy igneous rocks form when magma cools too fast for mineral grains to grow?
yes
What does non interlocking mean?
Non-interlocking rock texture is a characteristic of clastic sedimentary rock, where particles of sediments have been cemented together by precipitated minerals. The particles may be loosely cemented, with spaces between particles. Rocks of this type tend to be 'soft' in that they are broken easily. An interlocking crystalline rock structure is formed by the progression of crystallization temperatures of various minerals as they form from solidifying magma. The solidification temperatures of the mineral constituents vary, and the last to crystallize is usually quartz, which infills any voids that remain. The resultant mineral structure is compact, hard, and resistant to weathering.
Which tough mineral is most likely to survive extensive chemical weathering and form sand grains on beaches or dunes?
Quartz
Rock that is formed by sand and mineral particles pressed together?
This will form a clastic sedimentary rock. If it is predominantly composed of sand sized grains then it will form a Sandstone.
Lin found an igneous rock with large grains of mineral crystal where did this rock most likely form?
d. on the surface of the Earth
