what is the difference between granite and marble ?????????????
Answers
Marble is metamorphic or sedimentary in origin, with a smooth surface typically striated with veins of minerals. ... Granite is metamorphic or igneous, made up of silica, mica, feldspar and quartz, generally with a packed, granular surface. Color varies from light to dark, presented in flecks, veins or solid patterns.
Answer:
Granite is less porous than marble, which makes it more sturdy. Granite is an igneous rock formed mainly of two minerals quartz and feldspar. It crystallized from magma that cooled far below the earth's surface. When limestone, a sedimentary rock, gets buried deep in the earth for millions of years, the heat and pressure can transform it into a metamorphic rock called marble. Marble is strong and can be polished to a beautiful luster.
Explanation:
Marble occurs in many different colors such as white, pink, gray, red, yellow, or black and granite is the most common igneous rock.
