How are rocks and grains different?

Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.


Why do some igneous rocks have big crystals or grains and some igneous rocks have small crystals or grains?

Igneous rocks with big crystals or grains form from slow cooling beneath the Earth's surface, allowing time for larger crystals to grow. In contrast, igneous rocks with small crystals or grains form from fast cooling at or near the Earth's surface, limiting the time available for crystal growth.


Why do smaller rocks weather faster than big rocks?

Small particles weather faster than larger particles because they have a smaller surface area. For example, pebbles weather faster than boulders because the have less areas to cover.


Which type of volcano doesn't get very big or tall because it is susceptible to erosion?

The answer is a Cinder Cone Volcano. Cinder cones build from the ejected materials-mainly ash and rock-that fall near the summit or crater of the volcano. They erode faster than other volcanoes because their volcanic materials are not held together by hardened lava. Most cinder cone volcanoes are short, rising less than a thousand feet, and have a bowl-shaped crater at the top.

Does a small or a large ball travel faster in wind?

Well it all depends on what types really, if they are both of the same, then the big one will roll faster. Lets say for example, you had a big kick ball and a little kick ball, the big will roll faster in the wind. Sorry about the second post, but i almost forgot, it also depends on how big the ball is, because if it's MUCH larger then it will not roll faster, and if it too small, it will hardly roll as well. So as long they are close in size the big one will roll/travel faster
