What is the Difference between asphalt and cement soil?
Asphalt is a petroleum based product. It is mixed with rock and it acts like a binder and when layed and compressed, it makes a smooth surface like a road. soil cement is rock mixed with portland cement with enough water added to bid it together. It's normally used as a base for a road. it's pure mineral with water.
Are there any natural magnetic minerals?
This may shock you, but all matter is magnetic just to varying degrees. So yes there is. Here are the 4 levels of magnetic property's if you will. and examples of the minerals that have them.Ferromagnetism - a strong attraction to magnetic fields. examples would be Magnetite and Pyrrhotite.Paramagnetism - a weak attraction to magnetic fields. Example would be Platinum,Diamagnetism. , Bismuth Is the only mineral that is diamagnetic, meaning it is repelled from magnetic fields.Magnetism. Only a variety of one mineral acts as a magnet, generating magnetic fields on its own. This mineral is Lodestone, the magnetic variety of Magnetite, which found in only a few deposits throughout the world. Although it is only weakly magnetic, its magnetism is definitely discernible.
Sediments in sedimentary rocks are often held together by what?
Cement is what binds the siliclastic framework grains together. Cement is a secondary mineral that forms after deposition and during burial of the sandstone. These cementing materials may be either silicate minerals or non-silicate minerals, such as calcite.Silica cement can consist of either quartz or opal minerals. Quartz is the most common silicate mineral that acts as cement. In sandstone where there is silica cement present the quartz grains are attached to cement, this creates a rim around the quartz grain called overgrowth. The overgrowth retains the same crystallographic continuity of quartz framework grain that is being cemented. Opal cement is found in sandstones that are rich in volcanogenic materials, and very rarely is in other sandstones.Calcite cement is the most common carbonate cement. Calcite cement is an assortment of smaller calcite crystals. The cement adheres itself to the framework grains, this adhesion is what causes the framework grains to be adhered together.Other minerals that act as cements include: hematite, limonite, feldpsars, anhydrite, gypsum, barite, clay minerals, and zeolite minerals.
