What factor can affect the texture of metamorphic rock?
The pressure and tempeture a rock was exposed to
What affects the texture of a rock?
the texture of a sedimentary rock is mainly affected by the sediment that formed it
Why can the composition of gneiss vary but overall texture cannot?
The texture defines the gneiss. If it varies, it's not gneiss. I'm studying the same thing! -8th Grader! :D
What is the word that describes the shapes and sizes of the grains in a rock?
They are references to the rock's texture.
Where do rocks and mineral come from?
The minerals are made up of various atoms which are joined by strong chemical bonds in a very disciplined manner. Now at a particular pressure and temperature atoms joined together to form a particular mineral which is stable at that pressure-temperature. Rock is an aggregate of various minerals e.g. granite has orthoclase feldsper,quartz,small amount of mica etc. in a particular texture which together helps to stabilize the whole system in normal pressure-temperature.

What is chlorines texture?
Under standard conditions of temperature and pressure Chlorine is a greenish/yellow gas, so it has no texture.

What sense is used to determine an object's texture?
Touch is a sense that is used to determine an objects texture
What is regional metamorphism?
a change in the texture, structure, or chemical composition of a rock due to changes in temperature and pressure over a large area

What is mercurys texture?
Very rough. It has a lot of craters.

What is the texture of cesium?
Cesium (or caesium) is a metal when it is isolated as an element. Like all alkali metals, it is solid at standard temperature and pressure, and is a soft shiny metal.
What is the texture of fluorine?
No one knows for sure. At room temperature, it is a gas. Therefore, there is no texture.
Does xenon have a texture?
Xenon, a gas at room temperature, does not have a texture. It feels like air.
How do you determine the age of a porphyritic texture?
You cannot determine the age of a "texture". There are numerous methods for dating the age of rocks. Go to Geology.com and search for rock dating methods.
