marble
yes
Answeronyx is a mineral marble is a rock. Onyx is more harder and good for making handicraft products. Onyx shines more and looks more beautiful then marble. You can view marble and onyx products at the related link below
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.
A metamorphic rock formed from limestone is known as marble. Marble is created when limestone undergoes intense heat and pressure over time, causing its minerals to recrystallize and form a new, harder rock with a characteristic crystalline texture.
marble
erosion of the marble
no
Limestone is softer than marble, but harder than chalk.
yes
Marble is a very hard stone. Even though it is harder than limestone it is not as hard as granite.
You try harder
gargoyles areusually made of marble or limestone. There have been some metal or terracotta gargoyles. There are no brick gargoyles.
Erosion not erosion . The answer it Chemical Weathering..............:-)hismejohn
no one of the only known substances harder than granite is diamond
terracotta
The Romans used a lot of marble in their sculptures, Italy is famous for its marble. They also used basalt and rarely bronze. Many small statuettes were made of ceramic material.
