What types of grains is sedimentary rock made from?
sand grains
What rock has parallel bands of dark and light mineral grains?
It is a sedimentary rock
What type of rock would have grains cemented together?
That would be a sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock compossed of small grains of sand and quartz and feldspar?
The sedimentary rock you are describing is likely sandstone. Sandstone is composed primarily of sand-sized grains of quartz and feldspar, along with other minerals and materials. It forms when layers of sand are compacted and cemented together over time.
Sedimentary rock composed of small grains of sand?
this is true
Which features tells you how large the grains of a sedimentary rock are?
Texture
What rock forms when exposed igneous rock wears away into grains of sand?
sedimentary rock
What factor affects the texture of a sedimentary rock?
The size of the grains that make up the rock
What factors can affect the texture of the sedimentary rock?
The size of the grains that make up the rock
Is fine grained sedimentary rock smooth?
Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.
A type of sedimentary rock that contains sand-size grains. what is this?
