Smooth. But sometimes rocky in some parts
No, sandstone can vary in size depending on the specific composition of minerals and grain size. Sandstones can have a range of grain sizes from very fine to coarse. The size of the sand grains in the sandstone will impact its appearance and texture.
Quartzite's texture is that of coursed grained.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation and lithification of sand-sized grains. These grains can be composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Sandstone is often characterized by its gritty texture and can vary in color depending on the composition of the minerals present.
Compressed and cemented sand is called sandstone.
Sandstone is an example of a medium-grained clastic sedimentary rock. It is composed of sand-sized particles that are typically visible to the naked eye, giving it a medium-grained texture. Sandstone forms from the accumulation and cementation of sand grains.

bumpy and smooth
Sandstone will have a gritty clastic texture, created by the cemented particles of sand sized particles of rock. You should be able to see the individual sand grains.
Sandstone is a non-foliated rock, which means it does not have a layered or banded texture like foliated rocks such as slate or schist. Sandstone forms from the compression and cementation of sand particles, resulting in a granular or sometimes gritty texture.

You probably mean clastic. In that case: Sandstone.
Sandstone is primarily composed of quartz, feldspar, and clay minerals. Other common minerals present in sandstone include mica, calcite, and iron oxides. These minerals give sandstone its characteristic texture and color.
No, sandstone can vary in size depending on the specific composition of minerals and grain size. Sandstones can have a range of grain sizes from very fine to coarse. The size of the sand grains in the sandstone will impact its appearance and texture.
Quartzite's texture is that of coursed grained.
Marble is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, while sandstone is a sedimentary rock made up of sand-sized mineral particles. Marble typically has a smoother and more uniform texture than sandstone, which has a grainy and porous texture. Additionally, marble is known for its veining patterns and wide range of colors, while sandstone is predominantly found in shades of tan, brown, yellow, and red.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals and rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and feldspar. As far as touching it goes, yes, it is like dirt. The texture feels like sandpaper, and kind of dusty.
