A petrographic microscope is commonly used to examine grains in a rock. This specialized microscope allows geologists to view minerals and their characteristics in thin sections of rocks at a microscopic level. By analyzing the grains and textures present, geologists can determine the rock's composition and origin.
You can see rock grains on a rock by examining its surface closely. Grains may appear as small, distinct particles of various colors and sizes. The use of a hand lens or magnifying glass can help to enhance the visibility of individual grains.
they are called grit No, they are actually called grains. If you look it up in Classifying Rocks doc. it will specifically quote that they are called grains. Trust this answer, I have been studying rocks and minerals for a couple months now and I know too much about them and I am almost positive I will never use that when I'm out of school in a couple years. Enjoy.
Technology is the use of applied science. So when you use a rock hammer you are applying science to it.
A student could use a digital scale or a balance to compare the masses of two small rocks. Simply place one rock on the scale, record the mass, then repeat with the other rock to make the comparison.
Easy to do. There are about 0.064 grams in one grain. Therefore, use this formula to convert grains to grams: grains x 0.064 = gramsYour example: 21 grains x 0.064 = about 1.360 grams

A rock, a stick, a club.

yes, just use diamond bits
You can use a balance or scale to find the mass of a rock. Place the rock on the balance or scale and record the reading to determine its mass.

Geologists determine a rock's texture by examining the size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains or other components within the rock. They use techniques like thin section microscopy and petrographic analysis to study these characteristics in detail. The texture of a rock can provide important clues about its formation and history.
rice grains are a lot bigger than flour particles. A sieve will fix it.
I'll need to examine the damage a bit more closely, please. I would like to use that magnifying glass to examine this specimen.
No, if you use radiometric dating techniques on sedimentary rocks you will find the age of formation of the constituent grains which will originally have been weathered and eroded from a source or parent rock and as such the age of the grains is potentially much larger than the age of the sedimentary rock that they have since been deposited to form.
