Most pebbles are not magnetic because they are typically composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica which are not magnetic. However, some pebbles may have traces of magnetic minerals like magnetite or hematite which can make them slightly magnetic.
No, glass is not a material that is attracted to magnets. Magnets can attract materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, but glass does not contain these magnetic properties.
Limestone typically has smooth pebbles. Over time, the pebbles become rounded due to erosion and movement in water sources.
Pebbles do not naturally glow in the dark. However, some pebbles are coated with a phosphorescent material that absorbs light and glows in the dark after being exposed to light.
One common technique used to separate pebbles and sand is sieving. By passing a mixture of pebbles and sand through a sieve with appropriate mesh size, the smaller particles such as sand will pass through while the larger pebbles will be retained on top of the sieve.
The age of pebbles within a conglomerate can provide a maximum age for the conglomerate itself, as the pebbles must be older than the conglomerate they are found in. However, the pebbles may not necessarily represent the exact age of the conglomerate, as they could have been eroded from older formations and incorporated into a younger conglomerate.
