The blocks were made of limestone that weighed at least 2.5 tonnes each! Some of the big granite stones weighed as much as 70tonnes
It is called a metamorphic rock.
Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of seismic energy stored in rock subjected to great forces. This energy is built up due to tectonic plate movements and is released suddenly when the rock fractures along a fault line.
Most earthquakes are caused by the rapid release of elastic strain energy stored in rock that has been subjected to great forces. This energy is released in the form of seismic waves that propagate through the Earth's crust, causing the ground to shake.
Golconda Fort was primarily constructed using granite rock, which is a type of igneous rock known for its durability and strength. The abundant availability of granite in the region made it a popular choice for the construction of the fort's walls and structures.
Yes, Basalt is the most common extrusive rock

Most of the Great pyramid is made from limestone
A naturally formed rock resembling a pyramid, or some natural ground formation? why not? A large designed engineered and constructed pyramid? No.
No the tallest is the Great Pyramid of Khufu at 146m. Khafre's pyramid is shorter at 133m. It looks taller because it was built on an outcrop of rock.
No only igneous and sedimentary rocks
Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones (that formed a smooth outer surface) made from ' Tura Limestone' quarried across the river from the pyramid.
Pyramid Rock Festival was created in 2004.
The man-made structure that remained the world's tallest for more than 4400 years is the Great Pyramid of Giza. The pyramid was built using limestone blocks as the primary building material. The outer casing of the pyramid was originally made of Tura limestone, while the interior passages were constructed using granite.
So the Pharoah who created the pyramid would be rememebred as someone great who made a giant piece of rock from the work of slaves... yes popularity after their death...
yes... without steel reinforcing, possibly rock may be strong enough to withstand an earthquake but building are not constructed of rock.
