Granite is a very hard and durable rock that is resistant to weathering and erosion due to its mineral composition, particularly the presence of quartz and feldspar. The slow rate of chemical weathering and physical erosion processes on granite contribute to its longevity.

What do you think is the reason it takes a very ling time for granite to break down?

Granite takes a long time to break down primarily due to its composition and structure. It is an igneous rock made up of tightly interlocking minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, which are highly resistant to weathering and erosion. Additionally, the slow chemical weathering processes, such as hydrolysis and oxidation, are less effective on granite compared to softer, more reactive rocks. This durability allows granite to persist in the landscape for thousands to millions of years.


Is long distance a good reason to break up even if it 30 minutes away?

You don't need a reason to break up with someone. But if you are looking for one and you think something like being 30 minutes apart (I live in a big city and it takes me an hour to get to work) might suffice I think there are other problems. There is no "good" or "bad" reason to break up with somebody the choice is entirely yours! And if are asking yourself this question then you probably already know the answer.

If you hammered a nail into pumice what would happen Into granite?

Well, if you hammered a nail into pumice, the nail would probably just sink right in like a hot knife through butter. Pumice is so porous and lightweight, it wouldn't offer much resistance. Now, if you tried hammering a nail into granite, good luck with that! Granite is tough as nails (pun intended), so that nail would likely bend or break before making much of a dent.


What disease does granite cause?

Granite is a source of radiation; radon gas can be released from granite if it is drilled into. It is possible that people living on granite could have a higher cancer risk, but I don't think any real proof has been shown to exist.
