Non-interlocking rock texture is a characteristic of clastic sedimentary rock, where particles of sediments have been cemented together by precipitated minerals. The particles may be loosely cemented, with spaces between particles. Rocks of this type tend to be 'soft' in that they are broken easily.
An interlocking crystalline rock structure is formed by the progression of crystallization temperatures of various minerals as they form from solidifying magma. The solidification temperatures of the mineral constituents vary, and the last to crystallize is usually quartz, which infills any voids that remain. The resultant mineral structure is compact, hard, and resistant to weathering.

∙ 9y agoIn geology, interlocking and non-interlocking are terms referring to crystalline structures. Rocks with interlocking mineral structures have formed from recrystallization and are usually igneous or metamorphic, Rocks with non-interlocking mineral structures are clastic sedimentary rocks formed from compaction.

Are sedimentary rocks interlocking or non-interlocking?
Sedimentary rocks are non-interlocking, whereas Igneous and Metamorphic rocks are all interlocking.
Non- rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
foliated
When was Fully Interlocking created?
Fully Interlocking was created in 1977.
What type of rock has interlocking crystals that are mainly white?
Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.
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.
Are sedimentary rocks interlocking or non-interlocking?
Sedimentary rocks are non-interlocking, whereas Igneous and Metamorphic rocks are all interlocking.
What does interlock mean?
Non interlocking means that the parts of objects do not connect together. To interlock means to unite through means of dovetailing of hooking.
What does interlocking weaves mean?
braiding
Non- rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
foliated
What does interlocking grains mean - Name the rock type containing interlocking crystals?
hi everyone nice to meet you i am katie!
What is interlocking rhythm?
interlocking
What does interlocking pieces mean?
like puzzle pieces. They have notches that fit into gaps
What does it mean if a guy hold you hand while interlocking?
he/or she like you very much
How are foliated metamorphic rocks different from nonfoliated metamorphic rocks?
Foliated are made of interlocking crystals, non-foliated are not.
Is granite heterogeneous?
Granite is relatively non-porous due to the interlocking nature of the crystallized minerals which it contains.
What do the terms interlocking and non-interlocking refer to in geology?
These terms refer to the crystalline structure of the minerals that are present in a body of rock. Rocks with an interlocking mineral structure have formed from melt or from recrystallization and therefore are igneous or metamorphic. Their crystals have formed in a set order of crystallization, filling the spaces fully between them. Examples are granite, basalt, schist, and phyllite. Non-interlocking rock structures are usually clastic sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the compaction and cementation of rock particles of various types. Compaction and cementation will leave air and fluid spaces between rock particles which, although cemented together, are not interlocking. Examples are sandstone, limestone, and shale.
If a guy ask you for your hand and you let him hold your hand while interlocking does it mean he flirting with you?
yes it does mean he is flirting with you :)
