What else can I help you with?
What are the characteristics of gneiss?
Gneiss is foliated and coarse grained
Is marble fine grained or coarse grained?
coarse grained
What word describes a coarse grained banded metamorphic rock?
Gneiss, pronounced 'nice', is a coarse grained banded metamorphic rock.
What is the difference between fine-grained and coarse-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
What is the difference between coarse-grained and fine-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
What is the texture of the rock gniess?
Gneiss is generally coarse-grained.
Is shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
What lists the rocks in order of increasing grain size and increasing grade of metamorphism?
The list that orders rocks in increasing grain size and increasing grade of metamorphism is: shale (fine-grained) - slate (fine-grained) - phyllite (medium-grained) - schist (medium to coarse-grained) - gneiss (coarse-grained).
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
What grain structure does gneiss have?
Gneiss which is a non-foliated meta-igneous rock is coarse grained in texture.
What is meaning the grain of the rock?
fine grained or coarse grained
Does slate have abundant coarse-grained mica in it?
Slate typically does not have abundant coarse-grained mica in it. Mica is more commonly found in other metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Slate is formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone, resulting in a fine-grained, foliated rock without abundant coarse-grained minerals like mica.
