What type of crystals does gneiss rock have?
Gneiss usually consists of visible crystals of aligned mineral assemblages.
Can a rock that is changed by metamorphism have crystals in parallel layers?
Yes
Does conglomerate have any crystals?
Well, Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock and sedimentary rocks are not crystalline in nature, but they do consist of mineral crystals such as Quartz.
How would you indentify marble rock?
Marble has visible interlocking crystals on a freshly fractured surface, and will fizz when strong vinegar is applied.
What are interlocking crystals?
Interlocking rocks are basically crystals. They form together and make crystals. So that's were crystal come from in most shops. So now you know that an example of an interlocking rock is a crystal
Why is Gabbro not Porous?
Gabbro has little pore space. This is because of the interlocking crystals that make up the rock, allowing almost no water through it.
A rock from interlocking crystals that are not lined up?
metamorphic rock
What type of rock has interlocking crystals that are mainly white?
Mineral crystals in rock can be interlocked when forming or metamorphosed, or simply cemented together. Rocks with interlocking crystals tend to resist breakage by a force better than cemented rock.
What does igneous rock contain?
Randomly arranged interlocking crystals and no fossils :)
What is the difference between a crystalline rock and a clastic rock?
Crystalline rock is composed of interlocking crystalline grains, as in granite. Clastic rock is composed of rock or mineral grains which have become cemented together by the processes of lithification. Examples of clastic rock are sandstone and conglomerate.

Gneiss usually consists of visible crystals of aligned mineral assemblages.
What type of rock is formed by interlocking crystals?
hard strong rocks
What do the terms interlocking and non-interlocking refer to in geology?
These terms refer to the crystalline structure of the minerals that are present in a body of rock. Rocks with an interlocking mineral structure have formed from melt or from recrystallization and therefore are igneous or metamorphic. Their crystals have formed in a set order of crystallization, filling the spaces fully between them. Examples are granite, basalt, schist, and phyllite. Non-interlocking rock structures are usually clastic sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the compaction and cementation of rock particles of various types. Compaction and cementation will leave air and fluid spaces between rock particles which, although cemented together, are not interlocking. Examples are sandstone, limestone, and shale.
What type of rock forms deep within the earth when magma solidifies?
