Granite is typically not magnetic due to its composition of mainly quartz, feldspar, and mica. However, some types of granite may contain small amounts of magnetic minerals like magnetite or hematite, which can make them exhibit weak magnetic properties.
Rocks that are magnetic include lodestone (a magnetic form of magnetite) and certain types of basalt. These rocks contain minerals like magnetite that have magnetic properties. Other rocks, such as granite and sandstone, are typically not magnetic.
The granite would be older because it had to form first in order for the sandstone to contain pieces of it. The sandstone would have formed later on top of the granite layer.
The density of granite chippings typically ranges from 2.63 to 2.75 grams per cubic centimeter.
Granite is a heterogeneous material, meaning it is composed of a variety of different minerals that are visible to the naked eye. This gives granite its characteristic speckled appearance.
No, granite is not a suspension. Granite is a type of igneous rock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals. A suspension is a mixture in which particles are dispersed in a fluid but are not completely dissolved.
