Marble is considered to have translucency to its surface finish that looks like human skin texture. It is the translucency that gives and marble sculpture some some realism when carved. Marble has the distinct advantage that when first quarried it is quite soft and easy to work and polish. As the sculpture ages it becomes harder and somewhat water resistant, although acid rain damages the outer levels considerably. Also when being worked the sculptor has to be very aware of the oils and moisture created by the human hand as this stains the marble causing a brownish mark to appear
Marble is massive, that is to say not foliated (layered), which means that it does not easily crack or split. That makes it good for carving and also makes it a strong building material.
Marble can be polished to an attractive waxy lustre which is valued in statues and a decorative stonework. Some kinds of marble have attractive colour and pattern which make it an attractive cladding material for buildings, and good for decorative items such as carved urns.
Marble is comparatively soft, which makes it easy to carve, and also easy to crush for gravel and building aggregate.
Marble is of comparatively low density, which makes it suitable for use as an aggregate in low-weight concrete.
Most kinds of marble consist of calcium carbonate, which can be used to make cement.
Since marble is valued for building, cladding, statues, and decorative work, big pieces are expensive. Only waste such as chips is usually used for gravel, aggregate, or cement.
Marble is good for sculpting because it is relatively soft. It is also unlikely to fracture because of the intertwined mineral crystalline structure.
no you cant make a marble road when your driving you can slip and crash easily
It is massive (I.e. not foliated), occurs in attractive colour including a pure white and sometimes with decorative pattern, and it is soft enough to carve easily. Those properties make it useful for sculpture, carvings, and decorative stonework such as cladding stone for buildings and monuments. Furthermore, is consists or calcium carbonate, so it can be used to make cement and lime.

Okay, I will explain to you that, in the rainfall should had some kind of chemical like alkali, acid, salt, aldehyde, etc. Specially acid will interact with marble which contains calcium carbonate (CaCO3) to make the salt and liberates water vapour. The reason that surface of marble is not uniform as metal, so when the acid penetrates to the marble will make the result with porous coefficient differently. And you can see this very obviously this marbles surface will be rough touch. Of course this is long process not immediately after you fix the marble at the exposed area.
Yes.Fungi is useful to us.They are used to make medicines.
they are useful because
Marble is used in building's because of how strong it is and that it doesn't break easily.
Marble is hard and durable, which makes it appeal to everyone. Marble and granite are both expensive, but complement homes in a great way.
because a year ago the rich people their house are made up of marble (metamorphic rocks)
Because it contains marble....................I think?
Marble is relatively soft (calcite, the predominate mineral in marble is a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale) making it easy to work with, and the intertwined mineral crystalline structure from its recrystallization from limestone or dolomite also makes it less likely to fracture when struck with a tool. Marble will also take a polish, and has a translucency that gives it a pleasing appearance.

marble counter tops, buildings, maybe even vases, cups, and bowls.

Limestone can be processed to make marble.
