What is sandstone made of?

Answer 1

•Sandstone retains only a small part of the intergranularpore space that was present before the rock was consolidated.

•

•Compaction and cementation greatly reduce the primary pore space.

•

•Secondary openings, such as joints and fractures, along with bedding planes, typically transmit most of the groundwater in bedrock sandstone aquifers.•

The hydraulic conductivity of cemented sandstone aquifers is low to

moderate.

•

•Transmission is primarily through fractures although primary porosity may continue to contribute to storage.

•

•Because bedrock sandstones extend over large areas, these aquifers can often provide large amounts of water.

Answer 2

Sandstone is primarily made of sand-sized mineral particles (such as quartz or feldspar) that have been compacted and cemented together. It usually contains a mix of minerals, giving it variations in color and texture. Sandstone forms from the consolidation of sand deposits over time, often in environments like beaches or deserts.

Answer 4

Sandstone is a type of rock composed on sand sized particles of sand and minerals. Sandstone is typically found in the desert, or dry climates.

Answer 5

siltstone is sedimentary rock which has a grain size in the silt range finer than sandstone and coarser than claystones.
