What is the main thing rocks are identified by?
Rocks and Minerals can be identified and distinguished by their distinctive texture, structure, and chemistry.
Which information would probably be most helpful to someone trying to identify a mineral sample?
Many igneous rocks can be identified by the position of their minerals.
What kind of igneous rock texture results from slow cooling magma?
A coarse grained texture, referred to as a phaneritic texture, will be the resultant igneous rock texture. The slower the magma cools the more time minerals have to crystallize and thus grow bigger.
What are the features of two major groups of minerals?
silicate minerals and non silicate minerals
Is sandstone like dirt?
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.
How are minerals relaed to rocks?
How minerals can form some rocks, the color, and texture
In what ways do minerals differ each other?
minerals differ in appearance and texture
What type of rock texture results when extreme pressure causes minerals in metamorphic rock to realign or when minerals separate out into dark and light bonds?
Foliated texture
When minerals grains flatten and line up in layers a metamorphic rocks has a texture?
A schistose texture.
The metamorphic rock texture that has alternating bands of light and dark minerals is?
The metamorphic rock texture that has alternating bands of light and dark minerals is called foliation. This texture results from the alignment of minerals due to directional pressure during metamorphism. Schist is a common type of foliated metamorphic rock.
What three things minerals must have?
Color, texture, streak
What is a texture where you cannot see the individual minerals in igneous rocks?
It depends on what texture pack your using i recomend lookoing on Minecraft.net
What is the texture of andesite?
Andesite typically has a fine-grained texture with a mix of various minerals such as plagioclase feldspar and amphibole. It can appear as a dark gray to black rock with speckles of white or light gray minerals.
Are Soil with a medium texture that is made of all sorts of different minerals?
m
What is a soil with a medium texture that is made of all sorts of differents minerals?
silt
What is the texture of granit?
Granite has a phaneritic texture. This means that it has crystals 1-10 mm. It was formed from slow cooling, viscous magma, and/or good nucleation. Crystalline. Coarse-grained. Crystals visible without magnification.
Can minerals in a rock change the way they look?
Yes, minerals in a rock can change the way they look through processes like weathering, erosion, and metamorphism. These processes can alter the color, texture, and composition of the minerals in the rock, leading to changes in its overall appearance.
