How long has granite been around for?
Granite has been around for 4 billion years
What happens to granite if you put it under heat and pressure?
With With enough heat and pressure, granite will become gneiss so long as it is not hot enough to melt the granite.
What type of weathering occurs to granite?
Granite is a very resilient type of rock and is not prone to much erosion. types of erosion that could occur to granite are acid rain, coastal erosion (weather and salt from the sea damaging it) and weather erosion. it would take an extremely long period of time for erosion to become apparent.
I depend on how long it takes for the minerals within a rock to form. I am the rocks........?
granite
How long does it take for a stack to form?
a long time. Acid rain and other erosion methods erode the rock to form a cave then an arch then a stack
How long does it take granite to erode?
Millions of years
How long does it take water erosion to erode bedrock?
Wind erosion is an ongoing process.
Why would a marble statue wear out after a long period of time?
Because wind and rain erode it.
How long did niagara falls take to form?
18 000 years to form because water had to erode it away

What happens when the sea attacks cliffs?
Over long periods of time, the action of the surf upon the cliffs will further erode them. Water and the force of the water will cause erosion as well as the constant pelting of sand/debris laden water on rocks/cliffs.
What is the difference between granite counter top and 0.25 inch engineered granite counter top?
The answer is in the question. Natural granite and engineered granite are like steak and beefburger. However, engineered granite is probably more practical and cheaper in the long run. See link.
Rainbow bridge will last forever?
I am not quite sure but the nature of wind and water can erode the form and shape of it so it may not stay put long enough to last well forever.
Is cheap granite countertops effective?
From my understanding, "you get what you pay for", so although you can buy cheap granite counter tops, it is likely that they will crack or chip, and overall not last as long as the high quality granite.
How has weathering affected Cleopatra's needle?
Most likely it would have been subjected to far more weathering; in paticular, a type ofphysical weathering called frost wedging. Cleopatra's needle is carved of granite and when exposed to constant freezing and thawing in severe climates such as most of Siberia experiences granite exhibits this type of weathering. Granite typically has small cracks and fissures or joints which can fill with water. Even though Siberia is relatively dry some water would be available to do this (over long periods of time especially). Water expands when it freezes which causes a wedging effect inside the crack and causes plates of rock to crack off. Over time this would most likely happen to Cleopatra's Needle in Siberia
