When all the grains in a rock are roughly the same size, the rock is said to be well-sorted. This indicates that the grains were transported and deposited in a consistent manner, usually by wind or water, allowing them to settle according to size. Well-sorted rocks often have higher permeability and porosity compared to poorly sorted rocks.
What else can I help you with?
What outer planets are about the same size?
Uranus and Neptune are roughly the same size.
What is the surface of Mercury?
mostly rock and iron!!!!The surface of Mercury is most similar to the surface of the moon. Both are about the same age (very roughly) and both are covered with impact craters.
What is Mercury the planet made out of?
The inner or terrestrial planets are mostly rock (sliicates) and metals; Mercury is no exception. It is thought to have a relatively large iron core.
Is the sun and earth roughly the same shape?
No, the Sun and Earth are not roughly the same shape. The Sun is a roughly spherical star, while the Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
Is stone made out of rock?
Rock and stone are the same thing.
What rock is made of rounded grains that are all the same size?
oo
Why does granite stay the same over years?
its a sedimentary rock and contains grains
How big is a rock fish?
A rock fish is roughly the same size as my freakishly giant penis
Are all sand grains made up of the same materials?
No. Sand grains could be a mixture of particles of all sorts of different rock grains. Some sands are mostly quartz grains, some are grains of feldspars, some are gypsum, some are basaltic, and some are combinations of types. Sand can actually be formed from almost any rock type.
Which rocks has two different size grains of the same mineral?
Pegmatite is a type of igneous rock that can have two different grain sizes of the same mineral present. This is due to the slow cooling process of the magma, allowing for the growth of large crystals (phenocrysts) within a finer-grained matrix.
Which rock is made of rounded grains that are all the same size?
Conglomerate, a type of sedimentary rock, is made of rounded grains that are all the same size. The rounding of the clasts indicates that they have been transported some distance from their original source.
What can you infer about other fossils in the same rock layer as trilobites?
It can be assumed that the organisms that created the fossils were a part of the same depositional environment and process, and roughly from the same time span of the rock that comprises the layer.
Is 10x15cm the same as '4x6''?
10cm is roughly 4" and 15cm is roughly 6". It depends on how accurate you need to be though. 2.5cm is roughly the same as 1", but its not exactly the same.
What does FG mean in cooking?
It means a few grains. Same as a pinch.
Is classical music the same as rock and pop music?
No. Classical music sprung from the art movement, while rock and pop from entertainment. That said, these days there is some crossover.
What general rock feature does a geologist look for in a sedimentary rock to determine the distance the rock has traveled from its place of origin?
I think you might be referring to what is called textural maturity. It is assumed that a rock with high textural maturity has traveled a longer distance, as high maturity corresponds to more processes acting on the sediment and a longer time between erosion and deposition. Features to look for to determine maturity are grain size sorting, angularity/roundedness, and composition purity. Same-sized grains, round grains, and a single mineral type all indicate high textural maturity (this sediment forming this rock traveled far). A wide range of grain sizes, grains that are jagged, and a lot of different mineral grain types, all point to low textural maturity (this rock formed near it's source). And you can have combinations inbetween.
Why are all grains of rice the same?
All grains of rice are NOT the same ! - There are literally thousands of different kinds of rice all with different tastes and properties.
