Why superglue and granite don't mix?

Superglue does not work well on porous surfaces such as granite because it needs a smooth surface to create a strong bond. Granite's rough texture prevents the glue from adhering properly, leading to weak or ineffective bonds. Specialized adhesives designed for porous materials like granite are more suitable for bonding in this case.


How do people remove rock granite from the earth?

People remove granite from the earth by first identifying a suitable quarry site. Heavy machinery such as excavators and loaders are then used to extract the granite blocks from the ground. Explosives may also be used to break up large rock formations before the granite is transported for processing and fabrication.


What has to happen to granite before water can pass through it?

Granite is typically impermeable to water due to its dense and compact structure. To enable water to pass through granite, the rock needs to undergo weathering processes, such as fracturing or chemical breakdown, that create fractures, joints, or pores in the rock that allow water to infiltrate. This can happen through natural weathering over time or through human activities like drilling or blasting.


What temperature does the air need to be for it to snow?

The air at ground level or the air at the altitude where the snow forms? Snow forms in clouds and then falls. Therefore it can be and usually is warmer at ground level than in the clouds...Answer...water moisture freezes at 0° C or 32° F so it would have to be freezing in the clouds where the snow forms.


Why is petroleum found underground?

Oil is found underground because organic material within sedimentary rocks need to be heated by the earth's internal heat. This means the rock has to be "cooked" before oil is produced. Once the oil is produced, it is lighter than the water that will also be in porosity within the rocks. This causes oil to rise until it encounters an impermeable barrier. This is called the reservoir. Without something to hold in the oil, it would come to the surface much like it does in the La Brea tar pits and there would not be enough to sustain the worlds needs.
