What else can I help you with?
Is shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
What is the difference between fine-grained and coarse-grained?
Fine grained has larger crystals and coarse grained has smaller crystals
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
What type of grain do granite and basalt have?
Granite - coarse grained. Basalt - fine grained.
What is the texture of Travertine rock?
it is fine-grained
Is quartzite course grained or fine grained?
Quartzite is typically coarse-grained, with individual grains visible to the naked eye. This is because quartzite is formed by the metamorphism of sandstone, where the original sand grains recrystallize into larger grains.
Is obsidian course-grained or fine-grain?
fine grained
Fine grained medium grained and coarse grained what are these?
I'm not too sure
Is obsidian course grained?
fine grained
Is gneiss coarse or fine grained?
Gneiss is course grained but it has a fabric.
What does medium grained?
Medium-grained typically refers to the intermediate size of particles or crystals in a material. It falls between fine-grained (small particles) and coarse-grained (large particles). Materials with a medium grain size might exhibit a balance between strength and ductility.
What lists the rocks in order of increasing grain size and increasing grade of metamorphism?
The list that orders rocks in increasing grain size and increasing grade of metamorphism is: shale (fine-grained) - slate (fine-grained) - phyllite (medium-grained) - schist (medium to coarse-grained) - gneiss (coarse-grained).
What metal would be more plastic or ductile a fine-grained steel or a course-grained steel?
G
Is shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
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.
What type of rock is White to gray medium soft fine grained rock?
The rock described is likely to be shale, which is a sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals. Shale is typically white to gray in color, medium soft in texture, and fine-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.
