What is the weakest rock?
limestone or sandstone
Is sandstone limestone and shale are all examples of igneous rock?
Sandstone, Limestone and Shale are all examples of sedimentary rock, formed by layer after layer of different types of water born sediment laid down over millions of years and compressed into rock. The different types of sediment determine which type of rock is formed, obviously sand being the main component of sandstone, mud can form shale. Igneous rock is rock formed by volcanic processes, different minerals in the molten rock will determine it's type, such as granite. Metamorphic rock is the third type of rock formed by extreme pressure and heat upon sedimentary rock, marble being formed from limestone, slate from shale.
What type of rock is a sandstone?
sedimentary rock
What the relationship between groundwater and precipitation?
In limestone and sandstone areas, especially, ground water filtering through the rock and dissolving the limestone or sandstone, creates potholes, caverns and caves.
What type of rock is limestone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock.
What type of rock is limestone sandstone and mudstone made of?
Sedimentary rock
What type of rock is lystone and sandstone?
There is no such ting as "lystone" Sandstone is a sedimentary rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock of organic origin.
Whick type of rock has layers?
Sedimentary rock, such as limestone, chalk, slate and sandstone.
What type of rock forms from basaltic magma?
Sandstone and limestone and obsidion
Which rock below is a sedimentary rock?
Limestone, Sandstone, Shale
Is sandstone organic?
Sandstone is not an organic sedimentary rock, but limestone is.
What is the weakest rock?
limestone or sandstone
What type of rock is sandstonelimestonemarblegranite?
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock as is limestone. Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock and granite is a felsic intrusive igneous rock.
What type of lithology is expected in the shoal areas - sandstone or limestone?
Sandstone is more commonly found in shoal areas due to its ability to withstand wave energy and erosion better than limestone. Sandstone is a coarse-grained sedimentary rock formed from cemented sand grains, while limestone is a softer, carbonate rock that can be more easily dissolved by water.
What type of rock are you likely to find a fosil in?
Limestone mostly, sometimes in shale and coal.
Does limestone sandstone and granite absorb water?
Limestone is porous and can absorb water, while sandstone is also porous but less absorbent than limestone. Granite is a denser and less porous rock, so it does not absorb water as readily as limestone or sandstone.
Is limestone classified as a granite or a sandstone?
Limestone is not classed as either a granitoid or a sandstone rock. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, either chemically precipitated or bioclastic in origin. Granite is a plutonic igneous rock, and sandstone, although sedimentary, is formed from the cementation of sand-sized particles of eroded rock.
