How do you measure the mass of a grain of sand?
This depends on the composition of the individual grain (which will effect it's density) and also on the size of the grain.Geologists and civil engineers split sand into 3 grades, from course (0.6 - 2 mm diameter), through medium (0.2 - 0.6 mm diameter) to fine (0.06 - 0.2 mm).As such sand is defined based on the size of the grains, not necessarily their composition. Sand grain composition can vary significantly however by far the most common mineral forming sand is quartz. Quartz has a density of 2650 kg / m cubed.As such a quartz sand grain may weigh as little as 0.007 grams and as much as 8 grams.
Does obsidian have a large grain size or a small grain?
Neither. It has no visible grain.
Grain size of metamorphic rock increases in the process of .?
Grain size increases in the process of recrystallization.
How grain size depends on the rate of cooling?
Grain size depends upon the cooling rate as written below: 1. longer the time it takes to cool, larger will be the grain size and vice versa
What is the crystal size of a rock?
Quartz crystals range in size from cryptocrystalline (difficulty in observing even with microscopes) to gigantic. The largest individual quartz crystal recorded weighed more than 96,000 pounds and was roughly 20 feet in length.
Where was quartz disocered in the US?
Quartz is everywhere. Every white grain of sand is quartz.
What minerals are found in sand?
Sand is not any particular mineral, it is a grain size. Different sands can include quartz, feldspar, calcite and a variety of other minerals.

What is slate's grain size?
Slaet in grain size is the size of sand crystals.
Why would a grain of quartz from one area be exactly the same as from another area?
because now matter where it came from it is still quartz so it would be exactly the same
What is the size of an average quartz?
Be more specific, what do you mean by quartz?: Are you talking about the quartz in side an atom? A unit of measurement? Or possibly a type of rock?
