What else can I help you with?
A layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite The granite contains small pieces of the sandstone Which rock is older?
The sandstone is older because it must have been there first to provide the small pieces found in the granite. This relationship implies that the sandstone layer was already in place before the granite formed and incorporated fragments of the sandstone.
How the granite of a mountain could change first into sandstone and then quartzite?
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Granite is a tough cookie, but over time, it can weather and break down into smaller pieces, forming sandstone. Then, with a little heat and pressure, that sandstone can get a makeover and transform into quartzite. It's like nature's way of giving rocks a glow-up.
Explain how pieces of granite and slate could found in the same piece of conglomerate?
Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that is composed of sever host rocks. These host rocks could be from very different environments, and from very far away. That is how you get two very different rocks within one conglomerate. the heat smelts them together
How would you separate mixtures wood chips and pieces of granite rock?
One method to separate wood chips and pieces of granite rock is by using a sieve. The sieve will allow the smaller wood chips to pass through while retaining the larger pieces of granite rock. Another method is to use a process called flotation, where the wood chips can be floated on water and separated from the heavier pieces of granite rock.
Is granite gneiss marble limestone shale or basalt an igneous rock?
These are sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is made of compressed grains of rock and sand. Shale is made of compressed bits of mud and clay. Limestone is made of compressed pieces of forms of calcium carbonate.

If a layer of sandstone is in contact with a mass of granite that contains small pieces of the sandstone which rock is older?
granite is older, Granite goes back more than 300 mya to the Ancestral Rockies or the first Rocky Mountains-Fountain Formation
This rock consists of lithified pieces of quartz that are the final results of the weathering of granite?
Sandstone.

When granite is weathered and eroded what rock does it become?
Granite typically weathers and erodes into smaller pieces and ultimately changes into sedimentary rock, often forming sandstone or clay minerals through the process of sedimentation and lithification.
How can you tell that sandstone is older than a basalt layer?
If the sandstone is below the basalt layer, it is older. Though caution is advised, to make sure it is really a basalt layer and not an intrusion of gabbro. Other indicators that the sandstone is older is evidence of alteration to the sandstone where the two meet (called a "baked contact") and pieces of sandstone being found in the the basalt.

Helen placed fresh pieces of granite marble and sandstone in beakers of dilute sulphuric acid. Only the marble reacted with the acid. Only the marble reacted with the acid. Use Helen and results t?
Helen observed that only the marble reacted with the dilute sulphuric acid, suggesting that marble is reactive to acids compared to granite and sandstone. This reaction likely occurred due to the chemical composition of marble, which contains calcium carbonate that reacts with the acid to form carbon dioxide, water, and calcium sulfate. The lack of reaction in the other stones indicates that they are less chemically susceptible to acid erosion.
What type of rock is a sandstone and what is it made up of?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock and it is made of smaller pieces of rock and is pressed together

When granite rock is exposed to water wind or ice it can break down into smaller pieces and become what rock?
Common Granite
