since tillite was mainly transported by glaciers you should first try to determine its composition, in my area the tillite "dwyka tillite" can be found with the diamond gravel. surely you can see that the composition will be different for certain areas and the gravel here are also ferruginious meaning that you are actually looking at a very heavy mass per unit volume.

This is very true. Since tillite if formed from composite of various formulas such as glacier mixed with mud, rock pebbles, sand and others, it would give different density for different places wich makes me believe there is no specific density assingned for tillite as such. That is probably the reason I was not able to extricate anywhere in the internet a number on the density of tillite. If someone finds such thing, he should get good compliments from the wikianswers community.

What are different examples of types of density?

Population density measures the number of people living in a given area. Urban density refers to the concentration of buildings and infrastructure within a city. Resource density quantifies the abundance of resources like forests, water, or minerals in a specific area. Energy density represents the amount of energy stored in a given volume or mass of a substance.


What are the types of Population density?

The two main types of population density are arithmetic population density, which measures the number of people per unit of area, and physiological population density, which considers population density in relation to the amount of arable land available for agriculture in an area.


What are types of population density?

arithmetic density, agricultural density, physiological density, urban density, residential density


What is the difference density and relative density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water


What is the difference of relative density and density?

DENSITY : density is the ratio of mass and volume of the substance density=mass/volume RELATIVE DENSITY : It is the ratio of density of a substance to the density of water


What is the mass of a sample divided by its volume?

Its density. Density is mass per unit volume.


Comparing the density of a liquid to the density of water is?

This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).


If the relative density of gold is 19.3 what would be its density?

relative density is related to the density of water. i.e. a relative density of 19.3 means that it has a density 19.3 times the density of water. The density of water is 1g/ml therefore the density of gold is 19.3g/ml


What is the equation for mass volume and density?

Mass = Density x Volume Density = Mass/Volume Volume = Mass/Density
