Properties of Hyaloclastite
Physical Properties of Hyaloclastite
Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Hyaloclastite like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Hyaloclastite rock are vital in determining its Hyaloclastite Texture and Hyaloclastite Uses.
Hardness and Strength of Hyaloclastite
The physical properties of Hyaloclastite depend on its formation. Physical properties of rocks play an important role in determining its applications in various fields. Rocks are rated on the on the Moh's Hardness Scale which rates the rocks on the scale from 1 to 10. Rocks with hardness 1-3 are soft rocks from 3-6 are medium hardness rocks and 6-10 are hard rocks. The hardness of Hyaloclastite is 1-2 whereas its compressive strength is Not Available. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Hyaloclastite is colorless whereas its fracture is not available. Luster of Hyaloclastite is the interaction of light with the surface of Hyaloclastite . Luster of Hyaloclastite is dull and grainy. Hyaloclastite cleavage is not available. The specific gravity of Hyaloclastite is Not Available. Hyaloclastite is opaque in nature whereas its toughness is not available. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
