Sandstone will often contain feldspar, but some sandstones are composed entirely of quartz.
Sandstone is composed (usually) of quartz and feldspar particles. Neither are soluble n the acids present in acid rain.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock formed when grains of sand are deposited and subsequently compacted into rock by the pressure of overlying deposits and by the cementing effect of various other chemicals. The minerals found in sandstone will be whatever minerals were in the original grains of sand that formed the rock, chiefly quartz, and usually feldspar. Any number of other trace minerals will be found, depending upon the original source of the sand. The minerals that cement the sand particles together with likely be calcium carbonate, calcite, and silica. Check out wikipedia for more detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandstone Rod Burrows, PE
Rocks are not considered to have a streak, as they may consist of several minerals. In the case of sandstone, the rock could be composed of feldspar, quartz, glauconite, and other minerals. Minerals in solutions can penetrate and stain the sandstone as well and affect the attempted streak test.
Clastic sedimentary. Classification of rocks are based upon three types: geological process, ... or sedimentaryrocks (fragmental rocks) are sandstone, laterite, sand, ... Sandstone (sometimes known as arenite) is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because these are the most common minerals in the Earth's crust.
Many types of rocks can be found in Michigan. The largest and most common rocks found are sedimentary rocks. Examples of sedimentary rocks are granite, feldspar and sandstone.
Arkose sandstone contains abundant feldspar.
There is no "Ayers Mountain" in Australia. However, Uluru-Ayers Rock does contain feldspar within the sandstone. The sandstone is arkose, which means it is mainly comprised of grains and crystal fragments of feldspar.
Sandstone is made up mostly of sediments of quartz and/or feldspar. Therefore sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock.
yes
Uluru is essentially sandstone. It is a coarse grained sandstone with a high content of the mineral feldspar. See link for details.

Sandstone is a type of clastic sedimentary rock with sand-sized minerals or sand grains. Its two chief minerals are quartz and feldspar.

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized minerals and rock grains. Most sandstone is composed of quartz and feldspar. As far as touching it goes, yes, it is like dirt. The texture feels like sandpaper, and kind of dusty.
Most of the volcanic rocks are made up of many minerals, such as granite from quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, and biotite and/or amphibole. In addition to this some sedimentary rocks ,which are the post products of the volcanic and metamorphic rocks by several processes, includes many minerals. Example is sandstone but not all the sandstone...
