In what ways do rocks differ?
Rocks differ from their textures, hardness, colour, composition and shapes.
Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
The rocks may have different textures
Foliated rocks are distinguished by?
The main way metamorphic rocks are classified is by the presence or absence of foliation. Foliated metamorphic rocks are distinguished by the type of foliation they exhibit. Types of foliation textures, include: slaty, phyllitic, schistose, and gneissi.
What are the characteristics of each kind of rocks?
Igneous is color pattern, crystalline, and textures. Sedimentary is rounded fragments, large shape - edged and sedimentary. but I don't know about metamorphic.
How do two igneous rocks have the same mineral composition but different textures?
The texture of an igneous rock refers to the size of its mineral crystals. If the common magma of both igneous rocks has experienced differences in cooling rates due to depth, they will have different textures. Slow cooling produces large crystals, and quick cooling produces small crystals. Granite and rhyolite are two igneous rocks sharing the same mineral composition, but having undergone different rates of magma cooling due to depth at solidification.
What are 2 textures of metamorphic rock?
The two textures of metamorphic rocks are the Foliate and Non-foliate textures.
Do metamorphic rocks have different kinds of textures?
True it does.
Do detrital sedimentary rocks have clastic textures?
yes
In what ways do rocks differ?
Rocks differ from their textures, hardness, colour, composition and shapes.
What are the 4 textures and 4 compositions about igneous rocks?
in geology
Which two igneous rocks have phaneritic textures?
Even in the most generalized classification, more than two igneous rocks have phaneritic textures. In that generalized classification, they are granite, diorite, gabbro, and peridotite.
What are some common textures in igneous rocks?
hard rough and not smooth
Do all rocks have unique textures?
yes because they have different chemical compositions
What is the texture of Intrusive igneous rocks?
An igneous rock has two different textures. Extrusive rocks generally are smooth and glassy. Intrusive rocks are generally coarse
Why can two igneous rocks have the same minerals but different names?
The rocks may have different textures
How are intrusive rock different from with extrusive rocks?
Intrusive Rocks Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal that forms deep underground. Extrusive Rocks They are characterized by fine-grained textures because their rapid cooling at or near the surface.
What has the author Walter Wilson Moorhouse written?
Walter Wilson Moorhouse has written: 'A comparative atlas of textures of Archean and younger volcanic rocks' 'The study of rocks in thin section'
