Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and/or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust. Like sand, sandstone may be any color, but the most common colors are tan, brown, yellow, red, gray and pink, white. Since sandstone beds often form highly visible cliffs and other topographic features, certain colors of sandstone have been strongly identified with certain regions. Some sandstones are resistant to weathering, yet are easy to work. This makes sandstone a common building and paving material. However, some that have been used in the past, such as the Collyhurst sandstone used in North West England, have been found less resistant, necessitating repair and replacement in older buildings. Because of the hardness of the individual grains, uniformity of grain size and friability of their structure, some types of sandstone are excellent materials
because the sandstone is smooth and big
No. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock.
Limestone
Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.
the answer is sandstone
Yes, gold can be found in sandstone deposits. It is commonly associated with quartz veins and can be concentrated in pockets within the sandstone layers through geological processes like erosion and deposition. Mining operations may target these gold-bearing sandstone formations to extract the precious metal.
All types of mining are bad for the earth because it takes valuable metals, minerals, and rocks out of the ground. This can lead to problems like earthquakes and sinkholes.
there is limestone, shale,sandstone, coal, zinc, iron, gold, lead, oil/gas,mining
The two most common are Black Lung Disease, from inhaling coal dust, and Silicosis, from inhaling dust from silica rock (sandstone).

The common name for sandstone - is sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from grains of sand.
Rhode Island has the Narragansett Bay for water for the fishing industry. Mining is another natural resource. Sand, gravel, some limestone, and sandstone deposits are mined.
