Sand that is overlayed by additional sediments will experience compaction. Small gaps between sand particles will fill in with minerals which cement the particles together. The process takes a long, long time.
The minerals in sandstone recrystallize when granite first turns into sandstone a gritty sedimentary rock under weathering and erosion and then into the metamorphic rock quartzite under heat and pressure and then it goes all the way throughout the rock cycle and back into its original form of granite a igneous rock and is formed when magma recrystallizes.
GUYS THE ANSWER IS DINOSAUR FOOTPRINT NOT FRIKING MAMMALS
Because it is relatively soft, sandstone is not a good building material for certain things such as houses. It can be used for building other things such as fountains, counter tops and statues.
Because technology might change in the future.
Sandstone is a non-renewable resource because once we use it all up we cannot make more of it.
Granite becomes Sandstone when water erodes the Granite on Earths surface, and then deposits the sediment.
Both are sedimentary rocks, but the size of the grains in siltstone is smaller than those in sandstone.
because it is a large sandstone rock
a deposit can change laterally, so it might be deposited a conglomerate upstream and further downstream a sandstone, but once it is deposited it cannot be transformed unless it is subject to heat and/or pressure, it will then be a metamorphic rock. If the river is in retrograde then the deposit will grade upwards from a conglomerate to a sandstone
The minerals in the sandstones usually recrystallize when it changes into quartzite. Heat must be applied to sandstone to change it into quartzite.
yep, and it might become rock again - sandstone.
The erosion of sandstone is considered a physical change because it involves the breaking down of the solid sandstone through processes like wind, water, and temperature fluctuations, without altering its chemical composition. The particles of sandstone are physically worn away but remain the same in terms of their chemical structure.
Yes, sandstone that originated from coral reefs can be found on continents. This type of sandstone forms when coral reefs are buried and compressed over millions of years. As continents shift and change over time, these sandstone deposits can become part of the continental crust.
Heat and pressure are the two factors in the rock cycle that can change sandstone to quartzite. Sandstone is subjected to high temperatures and pressure during the metamorphic process, causing the sand grains to recrystallize and cement together, forming quartzite.
yes if you look around you might find some.
Sandstone is extremely porous and absorbs liquids like a sponge.. Shale is nearly impervious to liquids.
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
