Does the ground absorb more water in the summer or the winter?
it absorbs more in the summer
How long does it take for rock to turn into marble?
Marble is formed through the metamorphism of limestone. The fact that marble gleams white and reflects object, informs us that it has gone through the metamorphic stage, withstanding heat, water, wind, ice, etc. Through this change, limestone has become a smooth, glossy, fire resistant, and weather resistant marble.
Why would a marble statue last longer in a dry desert?
Marble is attacked by carbonic acid - carbon dioxide dissolved in water. The desert has little rainfall so chemical weathering occurs at a very slow rate.
Is marble the same as limestone?
Marble is made from limestone.
What do desert ground squirrels drink?
They drink water when irt is available but can also absorb some water from the plants they eat.
Do marble chips absorb water?
No the water would drain around the chips. They would not absorb water.
Is marble waterproof?
yes it is because it does not absorb water. <><><><> Above is not quite correct. Marble is water resistant. Different grades of marble have different rates of water absorption. One major US building was skinned with marble, and had to be redone- the marble selected was the wrong grade, absorbed more water than was covered in the design, and marble panels were bowing away from the framework. It does not absorb water like wood, but it DOES absorb some water.
Does marble let water go through it?
Marble is a natural stone that is porous, meaning it can absorb water. However, it is not as porous as some other natural stones like limestone or travertine. If sealed properly, marble can be resistant to water absorption, but it is still important to wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining.
What makes magic marbles absorb water?
Magic marbles are designed to absorb water due to the material they are made of, such as a superabsorbent polymer. When water comes into contact with the marbles, the polymer chains in the material expand and create a gel-like substance that traps and holds the water within the marble. This results in the magic marbles swelling in size as they absorb more water.
Can a rock soak up water?
Yes, certain types of rocks can absorb water through their pores or cracks. Porous rocks such as sandstone or limestone have spaces that can hold water like a sponge. However, not all rocks can absorb water, especially dense or impermeable ones like granite or marble.
Does a marble table top stain?
Yes, marble table tops can stain if spills are not promptly cleaned up. Marble is a porous stone that can absorb liquids and oils, leading to discoloration. It's important to seal the marble surface regularly to help prevent staining.
If you drop a marble into a glass of water the marble will sink because its?
Because the marble has a higher density than the water does
How fast does a marble sink in salt water?
A marble will sink faster in salt water compared to fresh water due to the increased density of salt water. The speed at which the marble sinks will depend on factors such as the size and weight of the marble, as well as the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, the denser the water, the faster the marble will sink.
What will happen when gravel touches water?
The Gravel will absorb the water until it can absorb anymore.
A marble was drooped into a glass of waterhow do you know the marble is more dense than water?
If the marble sinks in water, it is more dense than water. Objects that are denser than water will sink, while objects with lower density will float.
When you add a marble to water is that a mixture?
No because the marble was just added to make the water level rise
How do you get water out of marble?
If you combine it with an acid, it will react and release a small amount of water but the marble will be destroyed completely.
