The texture of a rock consists of it's grain or mineral crystal size, the arrangement of the grains or crystals, and the degree of uniformity of the grains or crystals. Examples of rock texture would be: * Coarse grained--visible crystals or grains as in granite.
* Fine grained--small grains, invisible to the unaided eye as in shale. * Porphyritic--large visible crystals in a fine grained matrix as in granite porphyry. * Schistose--layers of flattened micaceous minerals such as in mica schist. * Foliated--a metamorphic rock texture of parallel mineral banding as in gneiss. * Homogenous--same grain apperance in all directions as in basalt.

∙ 11y agothe texture of a rock is determined by the size,shape,and position of the grains or mineral crystals of which it is made.

What 2 properties classify rocks?
They use the mineral composition, color, and texture.
What are some non examples of texture in rocks?

Is porphyritic texture is not a feature of sedimentary rocks?
Porphyritic texture is a feature of some igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
How are rocks idenified?
rocks are idenified by texture
What is the texture of igneous rock?
Phaneritic is the texture of igneous rocks. These types of rocks crystallized slowly.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that?
Usually have a rougher texture
When igneous rocks solidify what kind of texture do they have?
Crystalline texture.
What is the texture of augite rocks?

What is the relationship between an igneous rocks texture and where it formed?
The relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed is that the texture depends on whether or not the rock is an extrusive rock or an intrusive rock. Those two different types of classifications for rocks tell you what the texture will be. For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
What is the texture of inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks?
what is the texture of all inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks
What is the relationship between igneou rocks texture and where it's formed?
The relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed is that the texture depends on whether or not the rock is an extrusive rock or an intrusive rock. Those two different types of classifications for rocks tell you what the texture will be. For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
