Is shale a coarse grained rock?
No, shale is not a coarse-grained rock; it is classified as a fine-grained sedimentary rock. Shale is primarily composed of clay minerals and small particles, which give it a smooth texture and allow it to split into thin layers. Its fine grain size typically makes it less permeable compared to coarser rocks like sandstone or conglomerate.
Does slate have abundant coarse-grained mica in it?
Slate typically does not have abundant coarse-grained mica in it. Mica is more commonly found in other metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. Slate is formed from the low-grade metamorphism of shale or mudstone, resulting in a fine-grained, foliated rock without abundant coarse-grained minerals like mica.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
A peridotite is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock
What is meaning the grain of the rock?
fine grained or coarse grained
Name a coarse grained igneous rock with no pyroxene?
Granite is a coarse grained igneous rock without Pyroxene.
Is shale fine-grained or coarse-grained?
shale is fine grained
What rocks begin with the letter S?
Sovite is a coarse grained carbonatite rock. Shale is a sedimentary rock.
Does slate have abundant coarse-grained mica in it?

Is marble fine grained or coarse grained?
coarse grained
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 type of texture does a shale rock have?
Shale rock typically has a fine-grained texture, with layers that are thin and compacted. It can feel smooth to the touch due to the small particle size, and can easily break apart into thin sheets or flakes.
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
What is the textur of shale?
The texture of shale is fine grained
Is sandstone coarse?
It is coarse-grained.
Do metamorphic rock and igneous rock have fine grained and coarse grained?
Yes. Exactly, they do have both, fine grained and coarse grained rocks.
Is Peridotite fine or coarse grained?
