It is possible for a sedimentary rock to become marble through the effects of environmental conditions such as pressure and temperature. They help to alter the structural and textural characteristics of the rock thereby changing it form and appearance. Limestone is a common sedimentary rock that is transformed in Marble which is a metamorphic rock. The process of changing a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock is called Metamorphism.
From a purely textural point of view they are as follows: Sedimentary: grains of similar or differing sizes showing variable sphericity and roundness either grain or matrix supported. Igneous: crystalline grains interlocking but not showing any preferred orientation. Metamorphic: crystalline grains (for the most part except low grade metamorphic rocks) interlocking, most often showing preferred orientation (alignment) and which may contain associated metamorphic minerals such as garnet, kyanite and sillimanite for example.
Any textural effect created without mechanical influence or embossed rolls.
Stylolite results from compaction, textural instability and pressure solution during diagenesis and may be enlarged by subsequent groudwater.They develop under stressat site of textural heterogeneity caused by uneven distribuition of mineral grains of variable pressure solubility.
In general, we can say a surface is smooth if it's lack of any "grip" or textural features presents no friction.

Artists use visual and real texture to make audiences recall textural experiences.

Modeling a flexible material, like clay, is a textural method of sculpture. Textural means to touch or form with the hands.

The three rock types are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. At one time, early in Earth's history, all rocks were igneous, having solidified from molten rock. From a textural point of view the differences are as follows: Sedimentary: grains of similar or differing sizes showing variable sphericity and roundness either grain or matrix supported. Igneous: crystalline grains interlocking but not showing any preferred orientation. Metamorphic: crystalline grains (for the most part except low grade metamorphic rocks) interlocking, showing preferred orientation (alignment) and associated metamorphic minerals such as garnet, kyanite and sillimanite for example. Formation:Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction. When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentaryrock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way. Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock.

The textural class of soil is determined by the percentage of sand, silt, and clay.
