What is the bottom layer of soil containing mostly rocks called?
bedrock
Can crystals be found inside a rock?
Yes. Rocks containing crystals are called geodes. (Refer to wikipedia). Also, many rocks, particularly igneous rocks and some sedimentary rocks are crystaline in nature. Granite, for example, is typically made up of quartz, mica and feldspar.
What relative cooling rates of igneous intrusive rocks can be estimated by comparing rocks?
Crystal
What are some rocks that are strong?
Diamond.A diamond is a crystal, and a crystal is a rock with neatly arranged atoms.
What are the different properties of rocks?
Rocks have a number of properties. A number of these are summarised below.Properties of rocks and rock masses:StrengthStiffnessDensityGrain / crystal sizeGrain shape (angular to rounded)Bedding thicknessJoint spacingPorosityPermeabilityChemical compositionSolubility.
Are there crystal rocks by your home?
yes there are some rocks that are round called geodes these rocks are hollow on the inside and have crystals inside them
What are light colored often intrusive igneous rocks containing a high percentage of silica called?
Light colored often intrusive igneous rocks containing a high percentage of silica are typically called granitic rocks. They are commonly found in continental crust and have a composition similar to granite, containing minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica.
What is the bottom layer of soil containing mostly rocks called?
bedrock
What is a polished looking reflection on rocks called?
The degree or type of reflection on a mineral's crystal face is called its lustre.
What does the squeezing from pressure do to the rocks crystal grains?
This is called piezoelectric. The pressure causes an electric charge.
Do crystal rocks have fossils?
No
What is a crystal lined rock called?
A crystal-lined rock is commonly referred to as a geode. Geodes are spherical rocks that contain a hollow cavity lined with crystals, typically formed in volcanic rocks or sedimentary deposits.

The exposed portion of the North American craton containing metamorphic and igneous rocks is called the?
It's called the Canadian Shield.
What is a crystal-lined rock called?
A crystal-lined rock is called a geode. Geodes are hollow rocks that contain sparkling crystals inside, formed by minerals depositing in the cavities of the rock over time.
How are intrusive rock different from with extrusive rocks?
Intrusive Rocks Intrusive rocks are characterized by large crystal that forms deep underground. Extrusive Rocks They are characterized by fine-grained textures because their rapid cooling at or near the surface.
Are crystals the same as rocks?
No, crystals and rocks are not the same. Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, while crystals are solid substances in which the atoms are arranged in a highly ordered structure. Crystals can be found in rocks, but not all rocks contain crystals.
