What is allivial soil?
It's spelt alluvial soil- it is a loose, fine-grained and highly fertile type of soil deposited by water flowing over flood plains.
What is loess made mainly of?
It is a fine-grained unstratified accumulation of clay and silt deposited by the wind
What are particles of soil sand and gravel carried and deposited by wind or water?
The term "sediment" is generally used for eroded particles, but much more frequently for particles when they are deposited by water and ice. The terms dust and sand are more frequently used for the specific airborne particles. Or possibly loess which is a light-coloured fine-grained accumulation of clay and silt particles that have been deposited by the wind
Is coal fine grained?
Coal is fine grained, lack of visible texture.
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.

Is quartzite course grained or fine grained?

Is marble fine grained or coarse grained?

How long it will take coarse grained rock to become fine grained rock?
The period of time involved in the rock cycle which would involve the transformation of a coarse grained rock into weathered, eroded, transported, deposited, and cemented fine-grained sedimentary particles would vary greatly. Suffice it to say the entire process would take many thousands-to-millions of years.
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
Is obsidian course grained?
