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.

What is the texture of the rock andesite?
The texture of Andesite rock is fine-grained and it Extrusive plus it is an igneous rock .
How a rocks surface looks and feels is the rocks what?
Texture is the word used to describe a rock's constituent mineral size and arrangement, visible on a freshly fractured surface. Because a rock's surface can be weathered to a smooth or polished surface, the way it feels is not usually included in a description of texture.
Gniess and slate are what kind of rock?
Metamorphic.
Is gniess foliated?
Yes. Gneiss is a foliated metamorphic rock.
Is gniess a mineral or a sedimentary igneous metamorphic rock?
metamorphic
Why gniess glitters?
because of the minerals that are mixed in with the gniess during the rock cycle(probably at the igneous stage) reflect light off of themselves
What is gniess made of?

Is gniess igneous or metamorphic?

How does granite form into gniess?
Granite must be exposed to tremendous heat and pressures in order to transform into the metamorphic rock gneiss.

What type of rock is gniess?
Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed from the alteration of pre-existing rocks through intense heat and pressure. It typically exhibits distinct bands of alternating light and dark minerals, giving it a banded or striped appearance.
When mineral grains in a metamorphic rock do not form layers the rock has what texture?
no texture
