Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Limestone can be both coarse-grained and fine-grained, depending on its composition and how it formed. Coarse-grained limestone typically contains larger mineral grains visible to the naked eye, while fine-grained limestone has smaller mineral grains that are not easily seen without magnification.
Is metamorphic rock rough or smooth?
Metamorphic rock can vary in texture, with some being rough due to the presence of mineral grains and others being smooth due to recrystallization of minerals during the metamorphic process. The texture of metamorphic rock depends on factors such as the original rock type and the intensity of heat and pressure.
Does granite have small grains?
Granite is a coarse-grained igneous rock, meaning it is made up of large interlocking crystals. These crystals form as the magma cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing for the growth of larger grains rather than small ones.
A coarse-grained rock and a fine-grained rock probably had different what?
Methods of formation. If crystalline (igneous or metamorphic) they would most likely have had differing rates of cooling. If sedimentary, they would most likely have had differing depositional environments (higher energy for larger grain sizes).
Is breccia a coarse-grainedmedium-grainedor fine-grained?
Breccia is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock that is composed of large, angular fragments.
Like a coarse-grained banded metamorphic rock?
Please.
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
Is rock smooth or rough?
Metamorphic rock can be coarse grained or fine grained.
Is marble fine grained or coarse grained?
coarse grained
Does slate have abundant coarse-grained mica in it?
Slate typically does not have abundant coarse-grained mica in it. Mica is more commonly found in other metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Slate is formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone, resulting in a fine-grained, foliated rock without abundant coarse-grained minerals like mica.
How fast do coarse grained and fine grained rocks cool?
If the rocks are igneous then in general:- Coarse = slowly. Fine = fast. However if the rocks are metamorphic or sedimentary then grain size has nothing to do with cooling and indicates other things.
Is limestone coarse grained or fine grained?
Limestone can be both coarse-grained and fine-grained, depending on its composition and how it formed. Coarse-grained limestone typically contains larger mineral grains visible to the naked eye, while fine-grained limestone has smaller mineral grains that are not easily seen without magnification.
What is the difference between fine-grained and coarse-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
What is the difference between coarse-grained and fine-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Is sandstone coarse?
It is coarse-grained.
Is metamorphic rock rough or smooth?
Metamorphic rock can vary in texture, with some being rough due to the presence of mineral grains and others being smooth due to recrystallization of minerals during the metamorphic process. The texture of metamorphic rock depends on factors such as the original rock type and the intensity of heat and pressure.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
