The faces of the presidents carved into Mount Rushmore are manmade, but the granite into which the faces are carved is natural.

no one died building mount Rushmore but some died of a condition of there lungs from inhaling the stone dust

Mount Rushmore National Memorial is the most famous landmark in South Dakota. Mount Rushmore hosts close to 2,000,000 visitors each year.

The same it was when it was first built, its granite it doesn't change much.

There are several types of weathering that affect Mount Rushmore. Rain, wind, erosion, dirt, snow, and several other things can cause it to weather.

90% of the mountain was carved using dynamite. The powdermen would cut and set charges of dynamite of specific sizes to remove precise amounts of rock.

Dynamite was used until only three to six inches of rock was left to remove to get to the final carving surface. At this point, the drillers and assistant carvers would drill holes into the granite very close together. This was called honeycombing. The closely drilled holes would weaken the granite so it could be removed often by hand.

After the honeycombing, the workers smoothed the surface of the faces with a hand facer or bumper tool. In this final step, the bumper tool would even up the granite, creating a surface as smooth as a sidewalk.

Master sculptor Gutzon Borglum wanted the massive carving to represent the meaning of American. The four presidents were carefully chosen to be part of Mt Rushmore. George Washington represents the birth of the country, Thomas Jefferson the expansion of the nation, Abe Lincoln the preservation of the Union and Theodore Roosevelt represents the development of the country.

South Dakota is known as the Mount Rushmore State.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore, Roosevelt

Yes, its designation is "Mount Rushmore National Memorial."

Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Badlands National Park are both located in the US state of South Dakota.

Probably for the same reason that Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Susan B. Anthony are not up there.

The faces in order from left to right are: Abraham Lincoln (16th President), George Washingon (1st President),Thomas Jefferson(3rd President), Theodore Roosevelt (26th President).

Yes. Correct

because mountains are made by GOD but statues r made by man.:D

Mt. Rushmore IS a physical feature BECAUSE, it is rocks and stones.

Unless your coin is graded MS-70, the coin retails from around $25-50 depending on collector demand.

Gutzon Borglam designed and directed the sculpting of the giant presidents' heads on the side of Mt. Rushmore. In total, over 400 people worked on the project between 1929 and 1941. The project was subsidized by the US Government, and cost almost a million dollars. Gutzon, already a notable sculptor, was sometimes absent from the project. In his absence, his son Lincoln supervised it.

As a memorial to the United States' greatest presidents and the first 150 years of the US. each individual president has a significant contribution to the United States, for example Lincoln encourages the equality of man during the tensions between blacks and whites, whilst simultaneously leading the north to victory in the civil war.

There are 2.369 miles between Mt Rushmore and Keystone.
