| 1. | Cleavage is a type of secondary foliation associated with fine grained rocks.
|
| 2. | For coarser grained rocks, schistosity is used to describe secondary foliation.
|
| 3. | Because of this quick cooling, the basalt is a fine-grained rock.
|
| 4. | Shale is a fine-grained rock made of ancient silt and clay.
|
| 5. | These are fine-grained rocks, not usually banded, nearly black in color with small red spots of garnet.
|
| 6. | They are dark, fine-grained rocks, containing a few visible crystals of the minerals olivine, plagioclase, and quartz.
|
| 7. | Coarse grained rocks are formed very slowly, while fine grained rocks are formed quickly, on geological time scales.
|
| 8. | Coarse grained rocks are formed very slowly, while fine grained rocks are formed quickly, on geological time scales.
|
| 9. | The formation holds natural gas in a fine-grained rock matrix which requires hydraulic fracturing to release the gas.
|
| 10. | Conglomerates are coarse grained rocks dominantly composed of gravel sized particles that are typically held together by a finer grained matrix.
