Why can porous rocks absorb water?
Permeable rock is composed of particles with spaces between which allow the transfer of water.
Why is sandstone porous and quartzite not?
sandstone has rounded grain so the water can get into a gaps between the grain quartzite have interlocking crystals
How could you differentiate between marble and white quartz?
Marble will effervesce in vinegar or diluted hydrochloric acid--quartzite will not. Both quartzite and marble are meta-sedimentary rocks. However, quartzite comes from a quartz rich sandstone, and marble comes from limestone.White marble is white limestone that has gone through metamorphosis.White Quartzite is white sandstone that has gone through metamorphosis.
What is the major difference between shale and sandstone?
permeability
If limestone was crushed what would it do to the rate of reaction between an acid and the limestone?
If the limestone was crushed the reaction would speed up because the limestone would have a larger surface area available to react with the acid.
Does acid rain have affect in sandstone?
yes it does ,the surface is worn away because there is a reaction between the sandstone and limestone.
What the relationship between groundwater and precipitation?
In limestone and sandstone areas, especially, ground water filtering through the rock and dissolving the limestone or sandstone, creates potholes, caverns and caves.
What is the difference between sandstone and limestone in laboratory?
Sandstone is made mostly from sand-sized quartz particles. On the other hand, limestone is made from finer grains of calcite material.
Which two kinds of adjoining bedrock would most likely have a zone of contact metamorphism between them?
shale and sandstone
What is the difference between sandstone and limestone in terms of where they came from?
Sandstone is made chiefly of quartz or feldspar grains, and limestone of calcium carbonate grains. Sand grains are usually formed by the erosion of older rocks. Calcium carbonate grains may be formed by the evaporation of sea water, or by the deposition of the exoskeletons of sea creatures.
