Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
shale is fine grained
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
fine grained or coarse grained
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
I'm not too sure
Coarse
A Fine-grained atomic action is one that can be implemented directly by an indivisible machine instruction. A coarse-grained atomic action is a sequence of fine-grained atomic actions that appear to be indivisible.
Gneiss is course grained but it has a fabric.
