How are rocks and grains different?

Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.

What are the properties of sedimentary rock?

sedimentary rocks have layers showing the deposition of sediment at different time periods.sedimentary rocks consists of lots of small grains. these grains maybe weakly and together so the rocks are often porous and maybe soft and crumbly.sedimentary rocks often have fossils trapped with in them.sedimentary rocks consist of layers of lots of small particals.
