How does gneiss feel?
A fractured surface--rough. A polished or worn surface--smooth.
What is happening when rocks are pitted or polished by windblown sediments?
When rocks are pitted or polished by windblown sediments, it is a process known as abrasion. The sediments carried by the wind act as abrasives, wearing down the surface of the rocks over time. This can result in a smoother, polished look or create pits and grooves on the rock surface.
The Igneous rocks that form under the surface?
Igneous rocks that form under the surface are called intrusive or plutonic rocks. These rocks cool slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for the formation of large mineral crystals. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro.
Which igneous rocks form below earth's surface?
Igneous rocks that form below the Earth's surface are called intrusive igneous rocks. Examples include granite, diorite, and gabbro. These rocks cool and solidify slowly, allowing large crystals to form.
What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
What is the look a feel of a rocks surface?
Its texture.
What is the look and feel of sedimentary rocks?
the look and feel of sedimentary rocks are sometimes hard and smooth or hard and rough
One way to tell rocks apart is by examining the feel of the rocks surface or?
General physical appearance.
Look and feel of a rock's surface?
texture
How rocks are the same when they feel and look the same?
Rocks that feel and look the same likely share similar mineral composition and texture. Minerals present in the rock, as well as the way the rock formed (igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), contribute to its appearance and feel. Thus, rocks that appear and feel the same are likely to be composed of similar minerals and have undergone similar geological processes.
How do you classify igneous rocks?
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
What is actual texture?
actual texture are the feel and look of a surface be it rough or smooth and seen as such
What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
How is magma different from rocks on Earth's surface?
Magma is under the surface of Earth's crust. Rocks on earth's surface are well ... on Earth's surface. Magma is also molten rock, not solid rock like the rocks on earth's surface.
Where are rocks above the surface forced up and over rocks below the surface?
