What are three types of sedimentary rock texture?
Coarse grained, Medium grained, and fine grained.
Is fine grained sedimentary rock smooth?
Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.
Why are raindrop impressions are preserved in in fine grained sedimentary rock rather than a coarse grained?
because raindrops have small particles and coarse grained sedimentary rocks have big particles so it is easier for raindrop impressions to occur in fine grained sedimentary rocks
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
What class of sedimentary rocks are made of fragments from rocksminerals and shells?
The class of sedimentary rocks that are made of fragments from rock minerals and shells is called alabaster. It is a fine-grained sedimentary rock.
What are three types of sedimentary rock texture?
Coarse grained, Medium grained, and fine grained.
Is fine grained sedimentary rock smooth?
Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.
Is mudstone a Metamorphic rock?
Mudstone is the fine grained sedimentary rock that were clays or muds originally.
Why are raindrop impressions are preserved in in fine grained sedimentary rock rather than a coarse grained?
because raindrops have small particles and coarse grained sedimentary rocks have big particles so it is easier for raindrop impressions to occur in fine grained sedimentary rocks
What type of rock is a stiltstone?
Siltstone is a fine-grained sedimentary rock consisting of consolidated silt.
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Fine grained rock exhibits a non-visible or nearly non-visible crystalline structure on a fractured surface. On the opposite end, a coarse grained rock exhibits mineral crystals of the rock's constituents on a fractured surface. The larger the crystals, the coarser grained is the rock. Basalt would be an example of a fine grained rock. Granite would be an example of a coarse grained rock.
What is A fine grained sedimentary rock that forms slate when under extreme heat?
Shale.
Which object will MOST likely contain a fossil?
rock.A2. A fine-grained sedimentary rock.
What is an argillite?
An argillite is a fine-grained sedimentary rock, sometimes used as a building material.
Which sedimentary rock has fine-grained sandstone with cross-bedding and land animal fossils?
Sandstone.
What sort of fertilizer is sedimentary rock?
The fertiliser lime is the sedimentary rock limestone.
What class of sedimentary rocks are made of fragments from rocksminerals and shells?
The class of sedimentary rocks that are made of fragments from rock minerals and shells is called alabaster. It is a fine-grained sedimentary rock.
