Is sandstone an igneous rock?
No. Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, composed of cemented grains of sand-sized sediment particles. Igneous rock is formed from the cooling of magma or lava.
What difference is there between crushed rock sand and natural sand in mortar mixing?
Crushed rock sand is produced by crushing hard rocks, whereas natural sand is formed by natural weathering processes. Crushed rock sand usually has rougher particles compared to natural sand, which can affect the workability and strength of the mortar mixture. Additionally, natural sand may contain impurities or organic materials that can impact the performance of the mortar.
Is sandstone extrusive?
sedimentary rock are extrusive when the were formed outside land than in the dirt extrusive rocks take less time to form than intusive (formed under ground) becase wind and help it form faster. i hope this is very helpful =)
How many types of rock do we have?
There are two classifications of igneous rocks: extrusive, those formed on the surface, and intrusive, those formed underground. The most common igneous rock is basalt, followed by granite. Types of variations of these two alone are very high in number.
What is pink sand made out of?
Pink sand is typically made of the crushed remnants of coral, shells, and calcium-carbonate-based organisms that have been broken down by the elements over time. The pink hue is often derived from the presence of red and pink shell pieces and coral fragments mixed with white sand.

What rock forms when exposed igneous rock wears away into grains of sand?
sedimentary rock
Is glass made out of igneous rock?
no, sedimentry, namely sand
Why are there different color sands?
Sand is made up of crushed rock and sea-shells. The colour of the sand depends on what type of rock particles are in it.
What igneous rock forms sandstone?
the igneous rock that forms sandstone is halite this is because when the sea water evaporates it produces halite and the by-product of the production of halite is red stained sand stone.
What is the difference between crushed ore aggregates and gravel aggregates?
Sand and gravels are naturally occurring, in pits, while crushed rock is a product of blasting and crushing rock, in a quarry.
Is sand stone a sedimentary a metamorphic or a igneous rock?
sandstone is a sedimentary rock because of the layers or lines you can see on it

Why do you find sand only in a beach or desert?
Sand is finely divided and/ or crushed rock, so its appearance on the beach comes from crushed or naturally eroded rock in the ocean. Deserts are usually arid, windy areas where large rocks may be been before being eroded by natural elements into the sand present today.
Is sand a sedimentary rock or is lots of sand joined together a sedimentary rock?
Sand is composed of small loose particles of eroded rock of any type, but commonly it is particles of quartz from igneous or metamorphic rock. Each sand grain is actually a rock unto itself. Only when the sand grains are cemented together through a process known as lithification, do the sand grains become part of a new sedimentary rock.
