What else can I help you with?
What are tiny rocks as small as grains of salt called?
Tiny rocks the size of salt grains are generally called, "Sand".
The particles of minerals or other rocks that make up a rock is called?
The particles of minerals or other rocks that make up a rock are called grains or crystals. These grains can vary in size and shape based on how the rock was formed and the types of minerals present within it.
What is loose rocks materials?
Loose rock material is called detritus.
What are Rocks called that are formed from fragments and mineral grains?
Sedimentary Rocks
What are rocks with grains arranged in parallel layers called?
Rocks with grains arranged in parallel layers are called sedimentary rocks. These rocks form when sediment such as sand, mud, or organic material is deposited and compacted over time. Examples include sandstone and shale.
Sediments that consist of mineral grains that were eroded from continental rocks are called .?
hydrates
What wind erosion called causes sand grains to pit and polish rocks when the grains hit them?
This type of wind erosion is called abrasion. It occurs when sand grains carried by the wind hit and scrape against rocks, wearing them down and creating a polished surface.
What tiny particles of rocks minerals plants or other animal materials are called?
they are called grit No, they are actually called grains. If you look it up in Classifying Rocks doc. it will specifically quote that they are called grains. Trust this answer, I have been studying rocks and minerals for a couple months now and I know too much about them and I am almost positive I will never use that when I'm out of school in a couple years. Enjoy.
What rocks have visible layers or elongated minerals grains called?
Rocks that have visible layers or elongated mineral grains are typically referred to as sedimentary rocks. These layers, known as strata, are formed by the accumulation of sediment over time, while the elongated mineral grains often indicate a process called foliation, which is common in metamorphic rocks. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone and limestone, while schist and slate are examples of foliated metamorphic rocks.
What particles of a mineral or other rocks that make up or called?
They are called grains and contribute to the texture of the rock.
Why do sedimentary rocks wear away faster than others?
Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.
Rough texture rocks have grains and fine textured rocks have grains?
Yes m that it true, other than glasses all rocks have grains.
