Question

the image shows an up - close view of a rock. which phrase best describes the rocks texture? jagged grains coarse grains rounded grains non - banded grains

Explanation:

Marble is a metamorphic rock that typically has a coarse - grained texture. The grains in marble are large enough to be easily seen with the naked eye, which is characteristic of a coarse - grained texture. Jagged grains would imply sharp, irregularly shaped particles, which is not typical of marble. Rounded grains are more common in sedimentary rocks that have been weathered and transported (like sandstones in some cases). Non - banded grains do not accurately describe the general texture of marble, as the focus here is on grain size rather than banding (banding is more of a structural feature rather than a textural one in the context of this question).

Answer:

coarse grains
