When magma cools rapidly what kind of textures does rock have?

Aphanitic, or fine-grained.


What kind of grains does limestone have in it?

Limestone is primarily composed of the mineral calcite and may be very fine-grained, oolitic, or fossiliferous.


Rapid cooling of lava in which tiny crystals form results in what kind of texture?

Rapid cooling of lava with tiny crystals forming results in a fine-grained texture, like that of basalt. This texture is characterized by small mineral grains that are difficult to see with the naked eye.


What kind of texture does obsidian rock has?

Glassy, but I could be wrong. Glassy usually relates to a rock that doesn't have any visible particles (like fine-er than fine grained).


Fine textured rocks have what kind of grain?

Fine textured rocks have a fine-grained or aphanitic texture, meaning that their mineral crystals are too small to be visible to the naked eye. This texture forms when the rock cools quickly, preventing large mineral crystals from growing. Fine-grained rocks often have a smooth, uniform appearance.


What kind of rocks make up the most of the igneous rocks?

Basalt and granite are the most common types of rocks that make up igneous rocks. Basalt is a fine-grained volcanic rock, while granite is a coarse-grained intrusive rock.


What is the color of the pyramid of Giza?

The Great Pyramid was the color of Oolitic limestone- a kind of honey color. When it was built, the outside was covered in a layer of polished white fine grained limestone, but had been removed later to build Cairo


What kind of rock is white chert?

White chert is a microcrystalline sedimentary rock made up of silica. It forms in environments where silica-rich waters deposit material that solidifies into fine-grained, white-colored chert.


What is slate?

Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous, metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade, regional metamorphism. It is the finest-grained foliated metamorphic rock.


What is the other different kind of art besides fine art?

cooking, metal work, wood, jewlery, and sewing


What kind of sand is in ashtrays?

The sand in ashtrays is typically called filler sand or ashtray sand. It is usually a fine-grained sand that is often dyed to give it a distinctive color. The sand is used to extinguish cigarette butts and provide stability for standing lit cigarettes.


Can metamorphic rock be changed by heat or pressure into a different kind of metamorpic rock?

Yes. Slates can be metamorphosed into phyllite, which in turn can become schist, which can finally become gneiss before melting entirely. The exact type of rock and mineral content depends on the temperature and pressure conditions of its formation.
