What do we call a metamorphic rock that has microscopic to very fine-grained texture breaks into slabs or sheets and is dull on the surface?
A metamorphic rock with a microscopic to very fine-grained texture that breaks into slabs or sheets and has a dull surface is called "slate." Slate forms from the metamorphism of shale and is characterized by its ability to cleave along flat planes, making it useful for various applications, including roofing and flooring.
How are metamorphic rocks mined?
Metamorphic rocks are not typically mined directly since they are formed deep within the Earth's crust through the process of metamorphism. However, certain metamorphic rocks, such as marble and slate, can be quarried using mining techniques to extract blocks or slabs for construction or decorative purposes. Specialized tools and equipment are used to extract, cut, and transport metamorphic rocks from quarries.
What are the huge slabs of Earth's lithosphere that rest on top of the plastic-like and easily molded asthenosphere called?
The huge slabs of Earth's lithosphere that rest on the plastic-like and easily molded asthenosphere are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and are responsible for various geological processes, including earthquakes, volcanic activity, and continental drift. Their movement is driven by convection currents in the underlying mantle.
What is it called when large slabs of crust were stuck on to the north American plate?
The process of large slabs of crust being added to the North American Plate is known as "accretion." This occurs when tectonic plates collide, and materials from one plate are thrust onto another, often leading to the formation of mountain ranges or other geological features. Accretion can involve various types of crustal material, including sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
Why aren't pavement slabs always together?
Pavement slabs may not always be together due to factors such as settlement of the ground beneath the slabs, temperature changes causing expansion and contraction, poor installation techniques, or excessive weight or traffic causing shifting or cracking. Regular maintenance and repairs can help keep pavement slabs together.

What rocks you use and the names?
Rocks that are of volcanic origin such as basalt/granites is used for making floor slabs/statures etc Rocks of sedimentary/metamorphic types are calcium carbonate(useds as slaked lime) used as building materials) /and marble again used for slabs/statues
Why are cheess pieces sometimes made of marble?
to make it more fancier and better if you want a better answer: marble is a type of metamorphic rock that has even grain so it can be easily cut into thin slabs or carved into many shapes including chess shapesdid you mean chess instead of cheess

What is a grist mill?
A mill where grain is ground into flour or animal feed. Modern technology is "roller mills" where grain is ground between steel rollers. Older technology would be using millstones, actual flat slabs of quartz or granite one rotating on top of the other with an opening "eye" in the middle where the grain enters the top stone.
What were bacon slabs called before slabs?
bacon.
What are non-suspended slabs?
Non suspended concrete slabs sit on the ground directly. They are different from suspended slabs because suspended slabs are above the ground and are supported by beams.
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.
A builder uses slabs 60cmx60cm drive 4 slabs wide and 7.2 m long how many slabs used?
48+ breakages
How many 450mm x 450mm garden slabs do you need for garden area of 21ft x 19ft?
The answer will vary slightly depending on assumptions: will the slabs have a space between them, and will you be cutting the slabs to fill fractions. 21 feet is equal to 14.2 of the 450 mm slabs. 19 feet is equal to 12.9 of the slabs. To complete the rectangular area, 14.2 x 12.9 = 183 slabs.
