How does marble differ from limestone there than color?
Hardness, Elasticity, Porosity, Permeability, Density, resistance to diagenesis, conditions of formation. Generalities (this means that in general the following are true and rules don't follow the exception if any exist) Hardness: marble is harder than limestone. It has a higher compressive strength and cohesion. This can get much more technical so let's leave it at that. Elasticity: Young's Modulus, shear modulus of marble is higher. Bulk modulus and poisson's ratio of marble is lower. Porosity of marble is lower. Permeability of marble is lower. Density of marble is higher. Limestone is often altered via fluids and chemical underground and marble isn't. Marble is metamorphic rock and limestone in sedimentary. Marble and Limestone are spelled different.
If you drop a marble into a glass of water the marble will sink because its?
Because the marble has a higher density than the water does
What rock has a lower density basalt or rhyolite?
Ryholite due to the reason that this rock is made up of lighter elements than that of Basalt
Is white marble softer than coloured marble?
Marble is a metamorphic rock and the hardness of the marble is determined by the indigenous rock of the area rather than color. There are some white marbles, such as Vermont White (from Brazil) that had a hardness close to that of granite.
What is the difference between a sandstone rock and a marble rock?
Chemically, a quartz sandstone is different than a calcitic marble. Additionally, they are classified differently by their method of formation. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, and marble is a metamorphic rock. Sandstone has cemented grains, and marble has interconnected crystals.
Which is heavier a marble or baseball?
Assuming you are referring to density, gold has a density that is greater than marble's by almost 7 times...
What has a lower density rhyolite or basalt?
Ryholite due to the reason that this rock is made up of lighter elements than that of Basalt
Why does a rock sink in honey?
Rocks sink because they have a higher density than water. Water's density is 1.00. Feathers float because their density is lower than that.Rocks sink because they have a higher density that water.Thus they have a greater mass per unit volume which would mean that the force acting per unit volume due to gravitational force.
Why would a glass marble sink in water but floats in mercury?
The cause is the difference in density; the density of water is 1 g/cm3 and for mercury is 13,5 g/cm3.
Why does pumice have a lower density than other igneous rocks?
It is a glassy igneous rock, so there are holes in it. The holes make the rock less dense than other igneous rocks that are Not glassy.
What is supposed to happen if you put a marble in a jar of breadcrumbs and a marble in a crouton jar which marble is going to rise first?
Neither. The marble has higher density than breadcrumbs or croutons, so it will sink, not rise.
Does salt water have a lower density than water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
