A very cool one!
What else can I help you with?
What classification of rocks does pebbles belong?
Tiny
What are the major classification of rocks?
igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary
What three things are used to classify igneous rocks?
Color and texture is one way to classify igneous rocks. Another way to do this is modal classification and normative classification.
What has the author Thomas McKenny Hughes written?
Thomas McKenny Hughes has written: 'Notes on the classification of the sedimentary rocks' -- subject(s): Sedimentary Rocks, Classification 'Geological measures of time'
What does rock classification mean?
Rock classification is the process of categorizing rocks based on their physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties. This helps geologists understand the origins and characteristics of different rocks, such as sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Classifying rocks also aids in studying the Earth's history and geological processes.
A classification of metamorphic rocks would inculde whether they are?
foliated and nonfoliated
What classification do coral reefs that are preserved as sedimentary rocks fall under?
Preserved coral reefs that have turned into sedimentary rocks are classified as biogenic sedimentary rocks.
A classification scheme that grouped plutonic and metamorphic rocks together and sedimentary and volcanic rocks together would be based on what?
This classification scheme would likely be based on the genesis or origin of the rocks, as plutonic and metamorphic rocks are both associated with processes occurring beneath the Earth's surface (igneous intrusion and metamorphism), while sedimentary and volcanic rocks form at or near the Earth's surface through sedimentation and volcanic activity, respectively.
What classification or kind of rocks results when rocks eroded from higher elevations accumulate at lower elevations?
asial sedimentary igneous metamorphic
Which two igneous rocks have phaneritic textures?
Even in the most generalized classification, more than two igneous rocks have phaneritic textures. In that generalized classification, they are granite, diorite, gabbro, and peridotite.
What is the scientific study of the physical characteristics of rocks called?
The scientific study of the physical characteristics of rocks is called petrology. It focuses on the composition, classification, and origin of rocks based on their physical and chemical properties.
A classification of metamorphic rocks would include whether they are .?
A classification of metamorphic rocks would include whether they are foliated or non-foliated. Foliated metamorphic rocks, such as schist and gneiss, exhibit a layered or banded appearance due to the alignment of mineral grains under pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks, like marble and quartzite, do not display such layering and are typically composed of a single dominant mineral. Other factors for classification can include the parent rock material and the conditions of temperature and pressure during metamorphism.
