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.
Erosion can break rock into?
IgNeous actuallly its fragments
How are rocks broken down into different sizes of sediment?
Rocks are broken down into different sizes of sediment through processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which are then carried away by erosion. The sediment is transported by wind, water, or ice, and deposited in new locations where it can accumulate and form layers of varying size.
How do you see rock grains on a rock?
You can see rock grains on a rock by examining its surface closely. Grains may appear as small, distinct particles of various colors and sizes. The use of a hand lens or magnifying glass can help to enhance the visibility of individual grains.
What is the word that describes the shapes and sizes of the grains in a rock?
The word that describes the shapes and sizes of grains in a rock is "texture." Texture refers to the arrangement and size of mineral grains in a rock, whether they are fine-grained, coarse-grained, or other specific characteristics.
Why are pollen grains different sizes?
Pollen grains come in different sizes depending on the plant species. Larger grains tend to be heavier and have a harder time being carried by wind, so they are usually found in plants that rely on insects for pollination. Smaller pollen grains are adapted for wind dispersal, allowing them to travel further distances.
What are the different particle sizes that are transported?
Microscopic to boulder size particles are transported during erosion.
Does a porphyritic texture include two different sizes of mineral grains?
Yes, a porphyritic texture consists of two distinct sizes of mineral grains - larger crystals called phenocrysts surrounded by a finer-grained matrix called groundmass. This texture typically forms in magmas that experience two stages of cooling, resulting in the different sizes of crystals.
What is the combination of sizes and shapes of grains?
texture
Why do igneous rocks that have the same composition sometimes have different sizes of mineral grains?
This is as a result of difference in the rate of cooling of the Igneous rocks.
Over time the tide erodes the sandstone and beautiful hollows of all different shapes and sizes?
Erosion creates all sorts of different shapes in sandstone.

Will grains of chaff travel the same distance in wind?
no because they are not all the same size and and so they will travel different distances =) (santiya)
What gives rock it's texture?
The sizes,shapes,and positions of the grains that make up a rock.
Bowen's reaction series predicts the sizes of the different mineral grains that grow from crystallizing magmas true or false?
True. Bowen's reaction series is a concept in geology that predicts the order in which certain minerals crystallize from a cooling magma based on their melting points. This series helps to explain how different mineral grains of varying sizes form as the magma cools.
How many grains of rice are in 6 cups?
This entirely depends on the type of rice. If you didn't know there are different types of rice with different sizes and volumes. A strategy for figuring this out is to count the grains in a smaller volume and multiply that into the volume you want. Don't be lazy. uncooked rice
The word that describes the shapes and sizes of the grains in rock?
Texture.
