What rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.
Is granite made from interlocking crystals?
not sure but i know it's an example of interlocking grains.. Interlocking visible crystals would be good descriptive words for granite.
Non- rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
foliated
Does granite have Gaps between the Grains?
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
Are sedimentary rocks interlocking or non-interlocking?
Sedimentary rocks are non-interlocking, whereas Igneous and Metamorphic rocks are all interlocking.
What I means the grains fit together?
Interlocking
Does granite have rounded grains?
Granite does not have rounded grains but contains interlocking grains. An example of a rock with rounded grains is a sandstone.
What rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.

What c describe's grains that fit together?
Interlocking
What does interlocking grains mean - Name the rock type containing interlocking crystals?
hi everyone nice to meet you i am katie!

Does granite have Gaps between the Grains?
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
Does marble have interlocking grains?
Limestone grains are interlocking. The simple test to see if a rock's grains are interlocking is to put a drop of water on the surface. If the rock is interlocking, the water will remain on the surface. If it is not interlocking, the water will start to percolate through the rock. :).
Why sandstone is more porous than limestone and shale?
because it's grains aren't interlocking
How is Granite different from Sandstone?
Granite is an igneous rock formed from the cooling of molten magma deep within the Earth's crust, characterized by its interlocking crystals of minerals like feldspar, quartz, and mica. Sandstone, on the other hand, is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized mineral particles and rock fragments, usually cemented together by minerals like quartz or calcite. Granite is more durable and resistant to weathering compared to sandstone.
What is a porous rock?
one which allows water to seep between the gaps between the grains which make up the rock. This is because the grains are non-interlocking therefore water can get through. You can look at it a bit like a sponge.
