What else can I help you with?
What do you think is the reason it takes a very long time for granite to break down?
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 mineral used as a building material is?
Granite. It is very durable and stain resistant.
What is the most abundant mineral in detrital sedimentary rocks?
Quartz is the most abundant mineral in detrital sedimentary rocks. It is highly resistant to weathering and erosion, making it a common component of sedimentary deposits.
What is an fact about Granite?
Granite is very resistant to fracture because of its interlocking mineral crystal structure.
What chief function mineral in the body is to make teeth resistant to decay and bones resistant to mineral loss?
flouride
Why are igneous rocks generally resistant to erosion?
They are resistant to erosion because they are more hard. They are like a piece of cement or trying to sand down the concrete floor it just wont happen.Thank You for asking wiki :)
Is sodium resistant to erosion?
Sodium itself is a highly reactive metal and does not have inherent resistance to erosion. However, certain sodium compounds or coatings may offer erosion resistance depending on the specific application.
Minerals resistant to chemical weathering?
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
Which mineral is the most resistant to being scratched?
Diamond is the mineral that is most resistant to being scratched. It is the hardest known natural substance, scoring a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
A mineral that is resistant to fire and heat?
Feldspar
What mineral is most resistant to scratching?
Diamond is the hardest mineral and is the most resistant to scratching. Its hardness is assigned a value of 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, making it the top-ranked mineral in terms of scratch resistance.
What material makes the caprocks?
Caprocks are more erosion resistant rocks overlying less erosion resistant ones. The caprock could therefore be any resistant rock type as long as it aids in preventing the erosion of the layer below it. Sandstone and basalt lava flow are typical caprock layers.
