Can you explain whether or not stone burns and under what conditions does stone burn?

Stone does not burn in the traditional sense because it is a non-combustible material. However, under extreme heat, certain types of stone can undergo a process called calcination, where they break down chemically without actually catching fire. This typically occurs at very high temperatures, such as in a kiln or during volcanic activity.


How can I safely burn stone without causing harm to myself or the environment?

To safely burn stone without causing harm, use a kiln or furnace designed for high temperatures. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent harmful fumes. Dispose of ash properly to avoid environmental harm.

What were the castles strengths and weaknesses?

When were stone keep castles made?

The first stone keep castle was made just after the battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror, decided that the original motte and bailey castle was too easy to attack. The attackers could burn most of the castle down because it was either made of wood, straw or mud. Also the wood palisade was not that strong or tall so any ladder could get over it and a battering ram could knock it down a lot easier than if it was made of stone... and that was when William the Conqueror decided to make castles out of stone because they did not burn and were stronger than wood or mud.
