How are rocks and grains different?
Rocks are composed of one or more minerals, while grains are small, individual particles of a mineral. Rocks can be made up of different types of minerals and have a variety of sizes and shapes, while grains are typically uniform in composition and size. Rocks are larger and can be made up of multiple grains, whereas grains are individual, tiny fragments.
What G are the small bits that rocks are made from?
The small bits that rocks are made from are called grains. These grains can vary in size and shape, and are typically composed of minerals or other solid materials.
How does the hardness of rocks influence the shape of features which wind erosion can produce?
the loose particles blown by the wind may knock against other objects and cause erosion
What is sedimentary rocks made of?
Sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments.
Is porous a rock formed from grains stuck together?
A rock formed from grains stuck together would be Porous
Rough texture rocks have grains and fine textured rocks have grains?
Yes m that it true, other than glasses all rocks have grains.
How does wind erosion shape the landsacpe?
The wind can pick-up and carry sand grains. It is these sand grains that act as 'sand-paper' against the rocks, eroding the rocks into weird shapes.
Do lava rocks usually have large grains?
Lava rocks typically have fine to medium-sized grains due to their rapid cooling process when formed from molten lava. Large grains are less common in lava rocks than in other types of igneous rocks that cool more slowly beneath the Earth's surface.
Why do sedimentary rocks erode faster than others?
Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.
What is made of grains from minerals or other rocks that have been compressed?
pyrite
What are grains (rock)?
particles of minerals and other rocks that make a rock
What do you call rock fragments inside other rocks?
Grains i think

What wind erosion called causes sand grains to pit and polish rocks when the grains hit them?
This type of wind erosion is called abrasion. It occurs when sand grains carried by the wind hit and scrape against rocks, wearing them down and creating a polished surface.
What G are the small bits that rocks are made from?
The small bits that rocks are made from are called grains. These grains can vary in size and shape, and are typically composed of minerals or other solid materials.
Is sedimentary rock sandy?
Not necessarily. There is a special class of sedmentary rocks, called sandstones, which are dominated by sand-sized grains. Other sedimentary rocks, such as shale, contain much finer grains.
The particles of minerals or other rocks that make up a rock is called?
The particles of minerals or other rocks that make up a rock are called grains or crystals. These grains can vary in size and shape based on how the rock was formed and the types of minerals present within it.
