Is sandstone good for building?
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.
How might a sandstone change into another sandstone?
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.
Why is sandstone classified as a nonrenewable resource?
Sandstone is a non-renewable resource because once we use it all up we cannot make more of it.
Gravel sandstone and conglomerate are all types of?

What are rock sediments?
There are organic rocks, like Limestone, and clastic (composed of fragments), like Sandstone. Within these groups there are others, like coal is organic and siltstone is clastic, but even within limestone and sandstone, there are further categories. There's oolitic limestone, chalk and 'shelly' limestones; and arkose, desert sandstone, orthoquartzite (generic sandstone), and others. Conglomerate is an interesting one, if you are after a rock that is not 'normal'.
Can sandstone float or sink?
Sandstone typically sinks in water due to its high density and composition. However, factors like porosity and air pockets within the sandstone can affect its buoyancy, making it possible for some sandstone to float in water under specific conditions.
What are some sediment rocks?
Different sedimentary rocks are, Chalk, Clay, Limestone, Millstone grit, Sandstone, and coal. They are all found in geological ridges in South East England. Sedimentary means that they were laid down by say river / sea beds and over geoloical time has more sediment places over them and compressed into rock. The two other major rock forms are Igneous and Metamorphic. Igneous rock is lava speyed out by volcanoes allowed to cool and form crystalline solids, such as basalt or granite. Metamorphic Rock is sedimentary rock that has been subjecto geoligical heat and pressure, such as Schists , Gneiss, and Marble.
