Why Granite is Extremely Rugged
Granite is the strongest rock. It not only has a hard texture, but it is not easily dissolved by water and is not easily attacked by acid and alkali. In its area per square centimeter, it can withstand more than 2,000 kilograms of pressure; in a period of several decades, weathering can not have a significant impact on it.
The appearance of granite is also quite beautiful, often with pale, gray, yellow, rose and other shallow colors, dotted with dark spots, beautiful and generous. Based on the above advantages, it becomes the top choice in building stone. Monumental Rock of Beijing’s Tiananmen Square Monument to the People’s Heroes was made exclusively from a piece of granite that had been transported from Shandong’s Lushan Mountain.
Why does granite have these characteristics?
Let's check its ingredients first! Among the mineral particles that make up granite, more than 90% are feldspar and quartz, among which feldspar is the most. The feldspars are often white, gray, and red in color. Quartz is mostly colorless or off-white. They form the basic shades of granite. Both feldspar and quartz are hard minerals and it is difficult to move with a steel knife. As for those dark spots in the granite, mainly biotite and some other minerals. Although the biotite is relatively soft, its ability to resist stress is not weak. At the same time, their proportion in granite is very small, often less than 10%. This is the material condition in which granite is particularly strong.
Another reason for the sturdiness of granite is that its mineral particles are tightly locked to each other and are embedded in one another. The pores often do not account for 1% of the total volume of the rock. This gives Granite the ability to resist strong stress and is not easily penetrated by moisture.
Although granite is particularly strong, it will have a bad day under the long-term effects of sunlight, air, water, and biology. Do you believe it? Many of the sand in the river is the quartz particles that remain after it is destroyed. Many of the widely distributed clays are also the weathered products of feldspar in granite. However, this is a very long time. Therefore, in terms of human time, granite is quite strong. For example, the Great Pyramid in Egypt, whose exterior was built with granite, has been used for thousands of years. Although it has been destroyed, it is quite durable compared to many other things.
