How does change granite into sandstone?
Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
Where does granite come from?
magma
Why Surface of granite does not change?
It does and will change over a length of time.
What rock does granite come from?
Granite is an intrusive igneous rock. It forms when magma from the earth's mantle forces its way up into the crust. Being intrusive means it doesn't reach the surface but remains enclosed in other rocks. This causes it to cool more slowly giving it larger crystal size. Erosion of the rock above and around it exposes it to the surface.
Does WD-40 hurt granite?
No, but you have to fully commit, and treat the entire surface.
Does granite form at the earth's surface?
No. Granite forms below the surface.
Is granite below or above the surface?
Granite forms below the surface, but it can be found at the surface where it has been exposed by erosion or uplift.
What can smooth out a rough surface?
Depends on the surface, sandpaper usually.
Which gives smoother surface when polished granite sandstone brick or concrete?
Granite.
How does change granite into sandstone?

What is the responsible for the formation of exfoliation domes?
Granite forms plutonsof igneous rock several kilometers below the surface as magmaslowly cools and crystallizes. The granite is under great overhead pressure.Then, granite is uplifted to the surface during a mountain-building event. During the mountain building process, the overlying rock iseroded as the granite is uplifted, and the pressure on the granite reduced. The granite expands and forms fractures or sheet joints parallel to the surface. The granite then erodes in concentric layers (similar to how an onion peels) forming rounded masses called exfoliationdomes.
How are granite rocks made?
Granite is formed by the cooling and consolidation of felsic magma below the surface of the Earth.
Where does van gogh granite come from?
It is a kind of granite found in Brazil.
Where does granite come from?
magma
What is the difference in solid surface and granite?
Solid surface is a man-made material composed of acrylic and polyester resins, while granite is a natural stone. Solid surface is non-porous and more uniform in color and pattern, while granite is porous and has natural variations in color and pattern. Granite is more durable and heat-resistant than solid surface.
Difference between flamed granite and polished granite?
The difference between flamed and polished granite is following : Flamed : The Flaming is a type of finishing to change the surface of granite by burning it by flames. This procedure change the surface in some type of rough finishing. Polished : The polishing is a finishing to change the rough surface to smooth and glossy finishing. This process is done by polisher.
Is granite a stone?
Yes. Granite is an igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools slowly below the surface of the earth.
