Rock is a poor conductor of heat and electricity due to its high resistance to the flow of energy. It can be used as an insulator to prevent the transfer of heat or electricity. However, some rocks like graphite can conduct electricity to a certain extent because of their unique structure.

Is rock an insulator?

No, rock is not an insulator. It is a natural material with varying thermal conductivity depending on its composition. Some types of rock, such as granite, have relatively high thermal conductivity, meaning they can transfer heat more easily than insulating materials.

Is rock a good conductor of sound?

Probably. It depends on the crystal structure of the dominant mineral. A pourous rock, such as honeycomb rock in Jamaica, will not be a good conductor of sound. A dense rock, like granite, will conduct sound better.

Would rock be a conductor?

A rock would be a fair to moderate conductor of heat. A rock would typically not conduct electricity, unless of course the rock in question is a piece of high quality ore.
