Inosilicates (Pyroxenes and Amphiboles)
... All of the amphiboles except Anthophyllite are monoclinic, and all show the excellent prismatic cleavage on {110}. The angles between the cleavages, however are 56o and 124o making all amphiboles easy to distinguish from the pyroxenes. Looking at faces that show only a single cleavage trace would sh ...

Metamorphic Rock 4
... What Is Metamorphism? Heat, pressure, and hot fluids can change the chemical composition of rock. They can cause minerals to react with one another and form new minerals. They can cause mineral crystals to change size or shape. They can even cause mineral molecules to move through the rock. Molecule ...

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.
