What is the difference between fine-grained and coarse-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Is shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
Is quartzite rock fine grained course grained or medium grained?
Coarse
What type of grain do granite and basalt have?
Granite - coarse grained. Basalt - fine grained.
What is the crystal size for extrusive igneous rocks?
Fine grained
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
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 rock smooth or rough?
Metamorphic rock can be coarse grained or fine grained.
What are two different igneous rock textures?
*fine-grained *coarse-grained
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).
Which would weather faster a fine grained or a coarse grained igneous rock?
A fine-grained igneous rock would likely weather faster than a coarse-grained igneous rock. This is because the smaller grains in a fine-grained rock provide more surface area for weathering processes to act upon, leading to quicker breakdown and erosion.
Is marble fine grained or coarse grained?
coarse grained
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 shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
What characteristics are used to classify igneous rocks?
Intrusive and extrusive factors of an igneous rock classify them. The other factors are if they are vesicular, coarse, fine grained, glassy, or very coarse
