Granite is a natural stone that can withstand very high temperatures. I have granite in my kitchen and can literally take anything out of the oven and place it directly on the granite. I have taken things from the broiler at 550 degrees with no problem! Hope this helps with your question.
Ever see a car window break from warm water being used to melt ice? Heat can do the same thing to granite. Don't set hot pots on granite!
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
The ONLY rock that Granite forms is the metamorphic rock Gneiss. Granite is the parent rock of Gneiss.
Gneiss, if the heat and pressure are sufficient.
It tolerates some dry heat. If you apply enough heat, the marble will calcine. This is a step in making cement.
It metamorphoses into gneiss
What is the specific heat of granite?
Hot Granite
Hot Granite
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
Granite will become gneiss.
The temperature is 100o again, and I can not tolerate this heat!
Granite will become gneiss.
DONKEY
The ONLY rock that Granite forms is the metamorphic rock Gneiss. Granite is the parent rock of Gneiss.
Granite counter tops aare not sensitive to the heat normally associated with their use in kitchens. A hot pan will not affect them.
yes but they might hibernate
by adding heat and pressure
