Different types of metamorphic are distinguished by the?
arrangement of mineral grains within the rock
Different types of metamorphic rocks are distinguished by the?
arrangement of mineral grains within the rock
How are Different types of metamorphic rocks distinguished?
The mineralogy (i.e. the types of minerals present within the rock) and also the texture of the rock (i.e. the size, arrangement and orientation of mineral grains within the rock) along with it's structure (the presence of features such as foliation and cleavage).
How could a sedimentary rock provide evidence that a rock cycle exists?
The Rock cycle is a process whereby all types of rock are formed then eroded and "recycled" through different depositional processes. Sedimentary rocks can provide evidence that the rock cycle exists by looking at it under a microscope. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the lithification of grains of different sizes shapes and compositions. By detemining the compositions of the grains within a sedimentary rock through a petrographic microscope or through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) then it can be seen that some grains are composed of minerals that are solely igneous in origin. Likewise, sedimentary rocks can be metamorphosed to form meta-sediments.
What are the 3 different rock types?

What types of grains is sedimentary rock made from?
sand grains
Are all sand grains made up of the same materials?
No. Sand grains could be a mixture of particles of all sorts of different rock grains. Some sands are mostly quartz grains, some are grains of feldspars, some are gypsum, some are basaltic, and some are combinations of types. Sand can actually be formed from almost any rock type.
Do different types of rock make different types of glass?
yes, different types of rock probably do make different types of glass

How many rice grains are in 5 grams?
Different types of rice have different amounts but an average of 49 grains
Which rocks has two different size grains of the same mineral?
The rock is conglomerate. The other rock would be Breccia if its grains were not rounded.
How is beer made?
A few different types of grains and hops.
What plants do sheep eat?
Different types of grasses, hay and grains
How many flours are there?
Hundreds of types made from many different grains.
