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
A hollow rounded rock that is lined with crystals is a .?
They're called geodes. Basically, they're cavities in the molten material (magma) in the form of gas bubbles. The mineral rich solution seeps in and crystallizes and grows until all the solution is exhausted. That's why sometimes you'll end up with a crystal filled cavity and other times the whole void is filled in with interlocking crystals.
What it is ignous rock made of?
Igneous rock is formed molten magma which has either come up to the surface or has been trapped beneath it. These rocks are very hard and consist of interlocking crystals
What is the texture of Graphite rock?
It is smooth. Graphite is made up of crystals. It will have angles.
Why do rocks have grains?
Grains are the particles that make up a rock and may consist of eroded particles of various sizes of other rocks or mineral crystals.

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.

Igneous rock is formed molten magma which has either come up to the surface or has been trapped beneath it. These rocks are very hard and consist of interlocking crystals
What makes gabbro a rock and not a mineral?
Gabbro is usually made up of minerals such as pyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole and olivine which makes it an intrusive igneous rock.
Can air make up a metamorphic rock?
Rocks are normally composed of interlocking mineral crystals or clasts. It is rare for metamorphic rocks to be porous and as such there is likely to be very little if any air in them. An example of a very porous rock due to the presence of gasses coming out of solution from a lava is pumice.
What are some identifying characteristics forfoliated metamophic rock?
minerals are lined up
What is the texture of Graphite rock?
It is smooth. Graphite is made up of crystals. It will have angles.
What volcanic rock is cooled lava made up of?
Igneous rock is made up of volcanic rock that is cooled after flowing as lava. Much of this type of rock is made up of sulphur and iron. Crystals also form from this type of melting.
What three things make up magma?
Mineral crystals, gases and a slushy mix of molten rock
What is a porous rock?
one which allows water to seep between the gaps between the grains which make up the rock. This is because the grains are non-interlocking therefore water can get through. You can look at it a bit like a sponge.
Are all the planets always lined up?
No, they are very rarely lined up.
