What rocks weathers the slowest?

Granite.


Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?

i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.


In wet climates granite weathers more slowly than?

In wet climates, granite weathers more slowly than limestone because granite is a harder and more resistant rock compared to limestone. The minerals in granite are less susceptible to dissolution by water and chemical weathering processes, leading to slower weathering rates.


What rock weathers very slowly?

Granite weathers very slowly due to its high resistance to weathering processes. This is because granite is a hard, durable rock with a low susceptibility to chemical reactions and physical breakdown.


Does pumice rock turn into granite after its process?

no pumice rock does not turn into granite.


Which one is slow at weathering limestone or granite?

Limestone weathers faster than granite because it is more susceptible to chemical weathering due to its composition of calcium carbonate. Granite, on the other hand, is a more resistant rock as it is composed of harder minerals like quartz and feldspar.


Does granite turn into gneiss?

It can.


What does granite rock turn into after heat and pressure?

Granite will become gneiss.


Can granite turn into slate?

No, granite typically does not turn into slate. Slate is formed from the metamorphism of fine-grained sedimentary rocks such as shale or mudstone, while granite is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma. The processes involved in their formation are different, so granite does not typically transform into slate.


What metamorphic rock does granite turn into after heat and pressure?

Granite will become gneiss.


Which weathers faster granite or marble?

Marble will weather more quickly. The mineral calcite, of which marble is composed is softer and less resistant to abrasion than granite. It is also more susceptible to chemical weathering via natural and man-caused acidic rainfall due to its chemical composition. Granite--not so susceptible.


What are granites features?

Being a hard, resistant rock type, granite commonly forms mountainous features at the surface and weathers to form characteristic "tor" features.
