That's a good description of sandstone. Note that there is a wide variation in the friability of sandstone; some is quite hard while other types are as soft and crumbly as a sugar cube.

What is cohesion at a surface called?
All water particles have a force of attraction, called cohesion, between them that holds the particles together. It is so called surface tension.
What is the prossess in which dessolved materials cristalize and glue particles of sediment together is called?
Cementation.
What chemical is added to make particles stick together?
These substances are called caking agents or agglomerants.
Why is it inaccurate an atom is the smallest part of an element?
It would be inaccurate because atoms are made of subatomic particles, which actually make up the element. These subatomic particles have either a positive, negative, or neutral charge. The positively charged particles are called protons. The negatively charged particles are called electrons. The neutral particles are called neutrons. The protons and neutrons are grouped together in the nucleus of an atom, with the electrons orbiting around.
What are positively charged particles in an atom called?
Positively charged particles in an atom are called protons.
Is a liquid a state of matter?
Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.
What is the 3 dimensional pattern that the particles of a mineral form?
The structure that a mineral forms is called a crystal.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles in a solid?
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
What is it called when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together?
It is called cementation when a mineral acts like glue to hold sediments together.
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.
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
Which rock is formed when particles stick together?
The rock formed when particles stick together is called Sedimentary Rock. The type of this rock depends on the composition and texture of the particles sticking together.
When particles of a mixture that are not joined together what is this called?
Compound
What is ceramic glazing?
blubber baby rubber butt
What is it called when the fibers of the spinal cord are loosely formed instead of being tightly together?
scoliosis
What are particles packed together in a regular pattern called?
atoms
What is cohesion at a surface called?
All water particles have a force of attraction, called cohesion, between them that holds the particles together. It is so called surface tension.
