What are 3 characteristics of a rocks grain?
Three characteristics of a rock's grain include size (fine, medium, coarse), shape (angular, rounded), and sorting (well-sorted, poorly sorted). These characteristics can provide information about the rock's origin and history.
Which process changes the grain Size of a metamorphosis rock?
The process that changes the grain size of a metamorphic rock is called metamorphism, which occurs when existing rocks are subjected to extreme heat and pressure over time. This environment causes the minerals within the rock to recrystallize, resulting in a change in grain size and texture. Additionally, the rate of cooling and the duration of pressure can further influence the final grain size of the metamorphic rock.
Is a grain a tiny piece of rock?
A grain can be a tiny piece of rock, yes. A grain can also be a grain of salt, meaning one 'pellet' of salt.
The smallest rock is a grain of what?
Rock.
Does grain size mean anything when identifying igneous rocks?
yes, it does. when a grain size in an igneous rock is small, it means that it was probably an extrusive rock, meaning it formed on land. but if the grain size is big, it means that the rock most likely formed underground, or it was intrusive. try remembering it like this- the larger the crystals, the more time the rock had to form, and magma cools faster on land, not giving the rocks much time to form.
What is an allochem?
