That's a good description of sandstone. Note that there is a wide variation in the friability of sandstone; some is quite hard while other types are as soft and crumbly as a sugar cube.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles forms a solid called a crystal.
All water particles have a force of attraction, called cohesion, between them that holds the particles together. It is so called surface tension.
The measurement of how closely particles are packed together is usually by state of matter. Gasses are measured as have particles that are further apart than liquids or solids for example.
The process that dissolves crystals and glues particles together is called dissolution. In dissolution, a solvent breaks down the crystal lattice structure of a substance, allowing its particles to separate and disperse. When the solvent evaporates, the particles come back together, forming a solid mass.
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles forms a solid called a crystal.
The repeating pattern of a mineral's particles forms a solid called a crystal. This structure gives minerals their unique shape and properties.
The process where minerals act like glue to bind sediments together is known as cementation. This occurs when minerals precipitate out of water and fill the spaces between sediment particles, creating a solid rock.
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
crystal.
Nonliving, solid material formed in nature with particles arranged in a repeating pattern is a mineral. Atoms of a mineral are arranged in a repeating pattern to form a solid that is called a crystal.
The structure that a mineral forms is called a crystal.
They are called grains and contribute to the texture of the rock.
The region of a compressional wave where particles are close together is called the compression zone. In this zone, particles are crowded closely together, creating areas of high pressure.
scoliosis
When sound particles are close together, it is called compression. This occurs during the peaks of a sound wave, where air molecules are densely packed together.
