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.
Where do rocks with coarse texture form?
they are made of either small crystals or grains or either crystalline minerals
When metamorphic rock has banded texture with minerals grains that are arranged in layers it is called?
Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
What has a mixture of solid particles called grains?
A Rock!. Igneous rocks
What is it called when minerals or grains can be forced under stress to line up in a nonrandom orientation?
Foliation.
The particles of minerals or other rocks that make up a rock is called?
Grains the particles of minerals or other rocks that give a rock its texture
Is it true that particles of minerals called grains give a rocket structure?
No a rocket is made out of metal not minerals.
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.
When minerals grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rocks has a texture?
A schistose texture.
What are grains (rock)?
particles of minerals and other rocks that make a rock
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 kind of texture will a sandstone rock have?
Sandstone will have a gritty clastic texture, created by the cemented particles of sand sized particles of rock. You should be able to see the individual sand grains.
What is poikilitic texture?
Poikilitic texture refers to crystals, typically phenocrysts, in an igneous rock which contain small grains of other minerals. The texture is most easily observed in petrographic thin sections.

Metamorphic rocks with a layered or banded look are referred to as foliated.
What is the difference between texture and composition?
BASCILY texture is feel of something an Composition is what does it take to make up something.Texture is based on the sizes, shapes and position of the rocks grains. The Composition of a rock is determined by the minerals that make up the rock. Composition and texture are two characteristics that scientists use to classify rocks.
