What are fine grains of rocks?
Coarse is intrusive: the magma cooled slowly when it was formed causing big crystals... Fine is extrusive: the magma cooled quickly when it was formed causing small crystals!! your welcome mrs. bergs class:)
Is soil and sand alike?
Soil is classified in engineering terms based on it's grain size. Whereby sand grains have a diameter between 0.125 and 2mm. As such sand may be a constituent component of soil dependent on the grain size of the material present. Also commonly soils may contain other clast sizes (clay, silt and gravel) as well as organic matter.
Which rocks has two different size grains of the same mineral?
Pegmatite is a type of igneous rock that can have two different grain sizes of the same mineral present. This is due to the slow cooling process of the magma, allowing for the growth of large crystals (phenocrysts) within a finer-grained matrix.
What is synonym for a piece of rock?

What does the medical terminology combining form -clast mean?

What is the size of a clastic sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are solid and can break into bit (rocks) of various sizes. However, if you mean what are the sizes of a "clast" in a clastic sedimentary rock then the answer is the same. A "clast" is a fragment of rock that is included in a new forming sedimentary rock - the term "clast" does not imply a size and indeed in a clastic sedimentary rock the clasts are frequently of many sizes.
What is the word for a piece of rock that is 5 letters long?

How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?

What kind of cell builds bone?
Osteoclasts (Osteo - bone, clast - make or create)
What are Detritus sedimentary rocks subdivided according to?
Detrital sedimentary are classified according to the size and shape of their sediments.
What is the name of the cell that reabsorbs old bone tissue?
The cell is an osteoclast.Osteoclasts remove old bone, osteoblasts form new bone.To remember the difference, you can remember B (-blast) for build and C (-clast) for consume.
What is the location of osteoclasts?
Osteoclasts break down bone (osteo-=bone, -clast=breaks) and osteoblasts build bone. (-blast=builder). This osteoclasts is on the surface of the bone. Usually breaking down and building up of bone is in equilibrium.
What is pyrodclastic material?
Presuming you mean pyroclastic, then the pyro part refers to hot, and the clast bit refers to a stone or part of it. Ejecta from a volcano would be the most common example. But a flood of basalt, or an ejection of white-hot gas and ash would also be. (ignimbrite).
What rocks are unclastic?
The word clast comes from the Greek and meant 'broken into pieces'. So the 'lacking' prefix would be "a", aclastic. There is no such word, as whole seems adequate. The 'lacking' prefixes from Greek are a- or an-. Such as amoral, anechoic, and antipodes.Rocks in their massive form could be sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic.
