Metamorphic rock that consist of only mineral that forms large interlocking crystals often have what type of texture?
Metamorphic rocks that consist of only one mineral and have large interlocking crystals often have a coarse-grained texture. This means that the individual mineral grains are easily visible to the naked eye. Examples of such rocks include quartzite (formed from quartz) and marble (formed from calcite).
What c describe's grains that fit together?
Interlocking
What does interlocking grains mean - Name the rock type containing interlocking crystals?
hi everyone nice to meet you i am katie!
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
How resistant to weathering is Limestone?
Not very, over geologic time. Limestone is vulnerable to chemical attack from naturally acidic rainfall and runoff.
What rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
Igneous rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern.
What are interlocking grains?
interlocking grains fit tightly together to make hard rocks
What I means the grains fit together?
Interlocking
Does granite have rounded grains?
Granite does not have rounded grains but contains interlocking grains. An example of a rock with rounded grains is a sandstone.

Is granite made from interlocking crystals?
not sure but i know it's an example of interlocking grains.. Interlocking visible crystals would be good descriptive words for granite.

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.
Non- rock has interlocking grains with no specific pattern?
foliated
When water combines with mineral grains do the grains become smaller or larger?
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
Does granite have Gaps between the Grains?
No. Granite does not have gaps between the grains. The crystals in an intrusive igneous rock are interlocking.
