... If the 2 cm cube is bisected by 3 joints how does this affect the surface area? Each face of the 1 cm cube has a surface area of 1 cm x 1 cm = 1 cm2. There are six sides to each cube so the surface area would be 6 x 1 cm2 = 6 cm2. But there are a total of 8 little cubes so the total surface area is ...

Clastic rock



Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock. A clast is a fragment of geological detritus, chunks and smaller grains of rock broken off other rocks by physical weathering. Geologists use the term clastic with reference to sedimentary rocks as well as to particles in sediment transport whether in suspension or as bed load, and in sediment deposits.
