With enough time, the deeply buried, well-rounded grains become very densely packed, expelling most of the air trapped between the grains. The granular snow grains are called firn and take approximately two years to form. [3] The thick, overlying snowpack exerts tremendous pressure onto the ...
Extrusive or volcanic rocks are formed when the magma erupted through the upper layers and crystallised by rapid cooling at the surface of the Earth. The fine grained texture of these rocks i.e. the relatively small size of the component mineral grains emphasizes the rapid rate of cooling of ...
As the dust grains were falling down into the solar disk,they began to collide and stick together, especially once they were in the disk. ▉Clumps formed, then bigger clumps, until soon the space that is now occupied by the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) was littered wi...
It is one of the least reactive elements and occurs in its native, free, elemental state as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Sometimes it is found mixed with other elements as gold compounds. How is gold processed?

The smallest grains are calledclay, then silt, then sand. Grains larger than 2 millimeters are called pebbles. Shale is a rock made mostly of clay, siltstone is made up of silt-sized grains, sandstone is made of sand-sized clasts, and conglomerate is made of pebbles surrounded by a matrix...

Reducing Porosity:Sediment grains are forced closer together, significantly decreasing the spaces (pores) between them. This leads to a denser and more compact sediment mass. Expelling Fluids:Compaction squeezes out much of the water trapped between the sediment grains. This water, often rich in di...
(which some have suggested are equivalent to those in slowly cooling granites) typically lose igneous microstructures, including oscillatory zoning, and are characterized by polygonal to irregularly xenoblastic grains of quartz and feldspar, as well as by rounded inclusions of quartz in feldspar and ...
