What general rock feature does a geologist look for in a sedimentary rock to determine the distance the rock has traveled from its place of origin?
I think you might be referring to what is called textural maturity. It is assumed that a rock with high textural maturity has traveled a longer distance, as high maturity corresponds to more processes acting on the sediment and a longer time between erosion and deposition. Features to look for to determine maturity are grain size sorting, angularity/roundedness, and composition purity. Same-sized grains, round grains, and a single mineral type all indicate high textural maturity (this sediment forming this rock traveled far). A wide range of grain sizes, grains that are jagged, and a lot of different mineral grain types, all point to low textural maturity (this rock formed near it's source). And you can have combinations inbetween.
Describe the textural difference between coarse-grained phaneritic and fine-grained aphaneritic rocks?
describe the textural difference between coarse-grained (phaneritic) and fine-grained (aphaneritic) rocks
what determines the texture of soil?
The textural class of soil is determined by the percentage of sand, silt, and clay.
Is pumice a mineral?
Pumice is a textural term for a volcanic rock that is a solidified frothy lava typically created when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from a volcano
Are scoria and rhyolite the same in mineral composition?
Rhyolite is a rock type that is categorized by mineral composition. Scoria is a textural rock type. Like, Rhyolite can be smooth, or it can be scoria (sharper, bumpier, lots of vesicles).Think of it as a rock adjective.

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

What is Natural Texture?
Any textural effect created without mechanical influence or embossed rolls.
How do Stylolites form?
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.
What branch of scholarship has helped us to figure out the original wording of the Bible with great certainty?
Textural criticism.
How do you improve maturity?
You can improve maturity by intelligence. Age also affects maturity of person.
