- Smooth
- Bumpy
- Rough
- Sharp
- Cold
- Uneven
- Porous

∙ 14y agoTexture can be an indicator of how the rock was formed. Igneous rocks can have a fine-grained to coarse-grained texture depending on the time spent in cooling from magma and lava. Metamorphic rocks can display foliated texture, which is indicated by banding, layering, and/or platiness on a fractured surface. The foliation occurs due to a realignment of the minerals due to directional pressure. Clastic sedimentary rock is also classified by the particle size (texture); shale being a sedimentary rock with the smalllest particle size.

∙ 10y agoRock Texture can be defined as the degree of fineness or coarseness of the mineral crystals or clasts contained in the rock. It also deals with the orientation of the rock materials.
