What is the particle that gives a rock texture?
Quartz is a common mineral found in rocks that contributes to their texture. It is hard and resistant to weathering, giving rocks a coarse and granular appearance. Other particles like feldspar and mica can also influence the texture of rocks.
How are rocks idenified?
rocks are idenified by texture
What is the texture of igneous rock?
Phaneritic is the texture of igneous rocks. These types of rocks crystallized slowly.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that?
Usually have a rougher texture
What Mineral alignment in a metamorphic rock usually gives the rock a porphyritic texture?
A porphyritic texture can be a feature of igneous rocks, but 'porphyritic' is not used to describe metamorphic rock texture. Metamorphic rocks can be foliated or non-foliated, terms used to describe mineral alignment or banding, or the lack thereof.
When igneous rocks solidify what kind of texture do they have?
Crystalline texture.
What is the texture of inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks?
what is the texture of all inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks
What is the relationship between an igneous rocks texture and where it formed?
The relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed is that the texture depends on whether or not the rock is an extrusive rock or an intrusive rock. Those two different types of classifications for rocks tell you what the texture will be. For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
What are rocks that have a glassy texture called?
Obsidian

What is the texture of rocks that have beenchanged?

What are some non examples of texture in rocks?
Texture in rocks is not the same as color or shape. Texture refers to the size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains or crystals within a rock, while color refers to the outward appearance of the rock. Similarly, shape in rocks refers to their physical form or structure, and not the internal arrangement of mineral grains which defines texture.
