What is the Difference between asphalt and cement soil?
Asphalt is a petroleum based product. It is mixed with rock and it acts like a binder and when layed and compressed, it makes a smooth surface like a road. soil cement is rock mixed with portland cement with enough water added to bid it together. It's normally used as a base for a road. it's pure mineral with water.
Dissolved minerals separate from water and become a natural what that binds the sedimentary rock together?
Cement. Minerals can cement sediment particles together to form solid rock through a process called cementation in sedimentary rocks.
What occurs when weather rock and organic matter are mixed together?
soil formation occurs when weathered rock and organic matter are mixed together.
What is ash mixed with rain forming a cement like rock called?
Ash mixed with rain forming a cement like rock is called tuff. Tuff is a type of rock composed of volcanic ash and other volcanic debris that has been consolidated and hardened.
Is rock and cement asphalt the same?
No. Rock is defined by being made up of minerals. Cement is used to made pavement by mixing rock and other materials. Asphalt is a semi solid material used in the production of oil and pavement. Asphalt and cement are commonly used together.
What rock is mixed with cement during construction of houses?
limestone, and after the limestone is put in, you get a receptacle called mortar, which is the common combination for houses
A mixture of sand and small pebbles is cemented together to form this rock?
Portland Cement is mixed with washed sand at a ratio of about six to one, ie six parts sand to one part cement to make "mortar" for use with building brick or block sructures. It is mixed at a ratio of about ten to twelve percent cement, ten to fifteen percent water and roughly seventy-five percent aggregate, sand, gravel or other additives. dmc101207
Is a rock the same thing as cement?
Absolutely. Cement is a mixture of elements that are found in natural materials such as; limestone, clay, sand, and/or shale. Therefore cement is types of rocks, (igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary) all together.
Clay minerals cement layers of sediment together to form what?
Clay minerals can cement layers of sediment together to form shale, a type of sedimentary rock characterized by its fine-grained nature and distinct layering.
What forms when rock has changed form through exposure and cemented into solid rock?
If I understand your question correctly (and that's a big if), sediment that is exposed to the elements of heat, water, and pressure eventually condense into a rock known as a sedimentary rock. So with little grains of rock mixed with water, you get a material that acts just like a "cement" that glues the larger grains together. With enough sediment, you can get a big rock that in actuality is just a bunch of small sediment pieces glued together. The best example of this kind of rock is sandstone.
What material is very durable artificial rock?
No. Cement is used to hold the rocks of concrete together. Cement by itself does harden in water. but it not a very hard or durable product.
What is Origin of the name conglomerate rock?
conglomerate normally means "mixed together" or "multiple"
