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.
Which foliate metamorphic rock has the smallest crystals?
slate
