Would you expect a quartzite or a sandstone to break more easily?
a sandstone would break more easily because a quartzite is harder. a quartzite is made of sandstone melted together by magma
What would happen to the sandstone as the water froze and expanded?
The sandstone will start to break and after 1 or 2 days it will be in tiny pieces.
Is siltstone hard?
Sandstone is pretty tough! Sandstone is in between hard and pretty hard. If sandstone is made to build buildings, towers, bridges, and arcs and they have stayed up and have never fallen then there pretty strong!
How do you describe sandstone?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or grains that have been cemented together by a binding material, such as silica, calcium carbonate, or iron oxide. It typically has a granular texture and comes in a range of colors, including brown, red, yellow, and gray. Sandstone is known for its durability, versatility, and ability to hold intricate patterns when used as a building material.
How does the granite of a mountain change first into a sandstone into a quartzite?
The forces of the mountain building slowly pushed the granite upward. This formed a mountain. Water and wind slowly wore the granite away. The sand remaining was carried by streams to the ocean. Over millions of years layers of sediment piled up on the ocean floor and changed to sandstone. Sandstone is a Sedimentary rock. Over time, the sandstone became deeply buried. Heat and pressure changed the sandstone to quartzite, a metamorphic rock. I got this from my science homework. :)

Does quartzite break more easily than sandstone?
No. Sandstone is usually weaker than quartzite.
What rocks does weathering break down?
i think sandstone
Why would sandstone break more easily than quartzite?
In quartzite the grains are essentially welded together under pressure, which holds them together much more strongly than the fairly weak cementation in sandstone.
What is more porous sandstone or limestone?
on what type of sedimentary rock would you choose to locate a garbage dump (sanitary landfill)? why? Sandstone tends to be much more porous, so that would be the general answer. But given the varieties it is certainly possible to find samples where it would be the reverse.
What does sandstone feel like?
Sandstone feels rather smooth but has got some bumps on it as well.
Describe how the granite of a mountain could change first into sandstone and then into quartzite?
Weathering causes the granite to break down into small particles - sand. The sand becomes buried and compacts into sandstone. If the sandstone continues to be buried and comes into close contact with high heat, such as magma, it can be turned into quartzite.

What is the sentence of to break with?
I would be very pleased if you would go to break with me. I would like very much to break with you.
