If steel is hard and granite is hard why won't we make automobiles engines out of granite?
Granite is not able to be shaped into other forms without breaking. Stone usually breaks when under pressure, and thus cannot be shaped. Steel can be shaped, and therefore is more suitable for a engine In other words, steel is malleable - Granite is brittle.
What brittle metalloid element occurs in sand quartz granite feldspar and clay?
The most common metalloid elements (those behaving between the metals and non-metals) are: B, Si, Ge, Te, As, & Sb. Of these common ones only Si (silicon) occurs in sand, quartz (Silicon dioxide), granite (feldspar + quartz + mica), feldspar (alumino silicate), and clay (oxidized alumino silicate.) So the answer is Silicon.
If a mass of granite is in contact with a layer of sandstone that contains small pieces of the granite which rock is older?
The granite would be older because it had to form first in order for the sandstone to contain pieces of it. The sandstone would have formed later on top of the granite layer.
What is the density of granite chippings?
Granite chippings are granite aggregates that are primarily composed of feldspar and used as paving material. The density of granite chippings is 166.5 lbs / ft3 .

Is rock an example a brittle material?
Yes, rock is an example of a brittle material. Brittle materials are prone to breaking or fracturing under stress without significant deformation. Rocks like granite and limestone are considered brittle because they tend to fracture rather than deform when subjected to high pressure or impact.
Which major type of rock is most likely to experience brittle deformation?
Brittle deformation is most likely to occur in rocks that are hard and brittle, such as igneous rocks like granite or metamorphic rocks like quartzite. These rocks tend to fracture and break when stressed, resulting in brittle deformation.

Difference between hardness and brittleness?
Hardness is the question of how difficult it is to make an impression on a substance. Brittleness is the question of how easy it is to break. Granite is a stone which is very hard but not brittle--it is hard to carve and also hard to break. A plank of wood is not as hard as stone but is not very brittle. You can carve on it with a knife but it won't shatter if you drop it. Glass is hard and brittle. Chalk is not hard but it is brittle.
How does the thickness of a granite counter top affect the durability and installation cost?
A granite countertop that is thicker will be more durable, but the cost increases linearly with the thickness. The installation cost won't change much, because that's mostly labor rather than materials. Granite counter tops average about 1 inch in thickness. Any thinner and the granite is much too brittle. Any thicker and the costs sky rocket due to increased weight and materials cost.

How easily can granite countertop be damaged?
It is quite difficult to damage granite countertops as they are made of well, granite. Granite is a very tough rock form that is normally coated, in the use of countertops, with a thin layer of cohesive material that holds it together and gives it shape. You would either have to hit it with a material that is harder than granite and with a bit of force to do any significant damage Actually granite can be damaged by carelessness. For example, cutting right on the granite instead of using a cutting board will eventually result in scratches on the granite surface.
