What else can I help you with?
Would you expect quartzite or sandstone to break more easily?
Sandstone
Would you expect a quartzite or a sandstone to break more easily?
a sandstone would break more easily because a quartzite is harder. a quartzite is made of sandstone melted together by magma
Would it be unusual to find sandstone immediately above a natural gas pool?
No. Sandstone would make a good caprock.
What will happen if dilute hydrochloric acid was added to sandstone?
If dilute hydrochloric acid is added to sandstone, the acid may react with any calcite present in the sandstone, causing it to fizz and release carbon dioxide gas. However, the effect would be limited as sandstone is mainly composed of silica, which is not reactive to hydrochloric acid. Thus, the overall impact on the sandstone would be minimal.
What kind of rock would be most likely to find a fossil sandstone or marble?
Sandstone. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock - which is the only type of rock which can contain fossils.
What kinds of rocks would you need to find an aquifer?
To find an aquifer, you would typically need to look for rocks that are porous and permeable, such as sandstone, limestone, or fractured volcanic rock. These types of rocks allow for the movement and storage of water within their spaces, forming potential underground reservoirs from which water can be extracted.
A sedimentary rock that is formed from sand deposits?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation and lithification of sand-sized grains. These grains can be composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica. Sandstone is often characterized by its gritty texture and can vary in color depending on the composition of the minerals present.
How would you put the word sandstone in a sentence?
Sandstone is more easily eroded than lava.
What would happen to the sandstone as the water froze and expanded?
As the water froze and expanded, it would exert pressure on the surrounding sandstone. This pressure could cause the sandstone to crack or fracture, as the ice expands and pushes against the rock material. Over time, repeated freezing and thawing cycles can lead to weathering and erosion of the sandstone.
If a mass of granite is in contact with a layer of sandstone that contains small pieces of the granite which rock is older?
The granite would be older because it had to form first in order for the sandstone to contain pieces of it. The sandstone would have formed later on top of the granite layer.
Would Mount Rushmore be easier to carve in sandstone?
No, Mount Rushmore is carved in granite, which is a harder and more durable type of rock than sandstone. Sandstone is much softer and would erode more quickly, making it a less suitable material for such a carving.
Would you find sandstone in Ireland?
