Granite is a that contains the mineral quartz?
Well let me think..... aw yes its.....(suspense)........ROCK
Which has smaller crystals basalt or granite?
Basalt typically has smaller crystals than granite. This is because basalt cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth’s surface, limiting crystal growth, while granite forms beneath the surface and has more time for larger crystals to develop.
Does the high uranium content of granite contribute to its breakdown?
Granite with a high uranium content breaks down faster than does granite with less uranium in it, but it would be wise to think a bit more about this before we walk away. Let's look more closely to see what's going on.Uranium (whichever isotope or isotopes we consider) is radioactive. Every atom is unstable, and has some probability of decay (by a method or methods specific to that isotope). Radioactive decay releases energy, either particulate or electromagnetic, or both, and these can easily break down the matrix of granite. Further, daughter products of uranium decay are often radioactive themselves, and their decay will release further energy causing more damage. There is a catch or two, however.First, it should be noted that structural damage to granite owing to the decay of uranium within it happens on an atomicscale. In a larger sense, the damage to a granite sample is slight. Lastly, the half-life of uranium isotopes is generally very, very long; they decay slowly. It is certainly possible to take granite samples to the laboratory and find structural defects in the rock's matrix that were caused by radiation damage. And granite with a higher uranium content will reveal more damage than a sample that has less uranium in it. But it takes lifetimes for "significant" damage to a rock sample to occur owing to the decay of uranium (or its daughter products) within that granite. You won't see a granite plinth or monolith falling apart from radiation damage right in front of your eyes as you view it.
How does granite turn into sedimentary rock?
Granite becomes exposed, is weathered into small particles, erodes from transportation by water, ice, wind, and gravity, is deposited in still waters or in dunes, and is compressed and cemented into sedimentary rock. This is one example of a path it could take in the rock cycle. There are others.
Where do you think rocket power takes place?
California
What do you think is the reason it takes a very long time for granite to break down?
Granite is a very hard and durable rock that is resistant to weathering and erosion due to its mineral composition, particularly the presence of quartz and feldspar. The slow rate of chemical weathering and physical erosion processes on granite contribute to its longevity.
Is long distance a good reason to break up even if it 30 minutes away?
You don't need a reason to break up with someone. But if you are looking for one and you think something like being 30 minutes apart (I live in a big city and it takes me an hour to get to work) might suffice I think there are other problems. There is no "good" or "bad" reason to break up with somebody the choice is entirely yours! And if are asking yourself this question then you probably already know the answer.
Can you use baby wipes on your granite?
No but you can use Granite as baby wipes, I think.
What granite made from magma that was trapped in the earth's crust. true or false?
I think you are talking about granitic intrusions. This is not a true/false question as granite takes many other forms than intrusions.
What is it called when granite makes up the continental crust?
I think granite is continental crust
What is the reason of the guy doing break up?
They think if they break up first they feel like the bigger person and try to empress his friend or they wanna take a break or liking another girl.
How do I tell a closefriend that i really don't trust her-him anymore after certain situations with out hurting her-him?
you should have reason & should explain your reason to him-her,but be careful because you may break his-her heart.so think about this.
If you hammered a nail into pumice what would happen Into granite?
Well, if you hammered a nail into pumice, the nail would probably just sink right in like a hot knife through butter. Pumice is so porous and lightweight, it wouldn't offer much resistance. Now, if you tried hammering a nail into granite, good luck with that! Granite is tough as nails (pun intended), so that nail would likely bend or break before making much of a dent.
What disease does granite cause?
Granite is a source of radiation; radon gas can be released from granite if it is drilled into. It is possible that people living on granite could have a higher cancer risk, but I don't think any real proof has been shown to exist.
Why cant you make cars out of granite?
i think it's too heavy
Which countries mine antique brown granite?
i think Peru and Mongolia
What type of rocks are found in Cloud land canyon?
i think granite
