What are the uses for granite???

Answer 1

Buildings, fireplace surrounds, kitchen worktops and statues. (Just for starters!)

Answer 2

Today, granite has very many applications, and it is far more than just a monumental stone. Architects all over the world favour its superb appearance, weather resistance, and durability. What's more, granite is very hard indeed, and it is almost impervious to materials that can cause stains. When polished, its high-gloss surface shrugs off almost anything the weather can throw at it. These properties make it ideal for so many applications - tiles, wall cladding, flooring, countertops, kitchen surfaces, washroom surfaces, laboratory benches, waterfalls, planters - the list is as long as the specifier's imagination is fertile.

Answer 3

Granite is the foundation rock undergirding every continent in the world. The most important rock on the planet and it is not molten rock (magma) like other rocks. Granite was made at Creation in 3 minutes or less. Both granite and gabbro are Genesis rocks, formed at Creation. Neither came from molten rock. When they melt and reharden, they change into different rocks with smaller crystals (rhyolite or basalt). Scientists cannot make granite or gabbro, and the reason is simple. both were created solid, and not formed from molten materials.

The Polonium 218 Halo in granite. This is the key. Only in Po-218 can we know the beginning and end,- and thus the exact time cycle-of a very short radioactive isotope. In every instance in which we find it, we can know the rock, in which it is isolated, came into existence solid within less than 3 minutes.

Polonium 218 is an original isotope. Evolutionists declare that all the radioactive elements had to decay from the top of the chain. They say this, hoping that, in this way, to prove their theory that the world is billions of years old. But this aspect of their theory is also wrong and for this reason: If all the radioactivity in the U-238 chain began at the same time, at the top of the radioactive ladder (from U-238), then, throughout the world, all the U-238 chain would be in equilibrium today. Instead, we find all levels of disintegration, including lead - which is the final end product. Thus it is only an assumption that only U-238 was present at the beginning. In contrast, there is proof that multiplied trillions of Po-218 halos did not originate with uranium or any radioactive substance above polonium 218 within it. And there is lots of polonium 218! Imagine a sample of granite in your hand, the size of a golf ball, containing over 10,000 Po-218 halos.

There is no possible way that the evolutionary theories of stellar and earth origins could be true - if the basement rock of our planet came into existence within three (3) minutes. Keep in mind that, if the granite were made solid, the rest of the world could never have been molten, or it would have melted the granite and destroyed all the polonium halos. In addition, the molten mass would have melted the granite; and, upon rehardening, it would have become rhyolite-and there would be no granite in the world.

Robert Gentry reclassifies granite. According to the evolutionary theory, granite is officially classified as an igneous rock, that is, a rock formed from lava flows. Molten rock is said to have cooled and formed granite. But Gentry declares this to be UNTRUE. Granite did not come from molten material, but was formed solid in the beginning! He calls it a "Genesis rock." Granite never has fossils in it, and it can never be produced by scientists from molten materials.

FALSIFICATION TEST - After being met for several years with denials from evolutionists that he could be right, Gentry issued a challenge. He challenged any scientist or laboratory to change molten material into granite or produce one Po-218 halo on just one piece of granite. But the establishment said they were not going to bother to do it. (Gentry later learned that they had tried, and failed)

What would zircon analysis prove? If the world actually were millions of years old, all the lead in the zircon crystals would have diffused out ages ago. But if the granite were only 6,000 years old, then most of the lead would still be in it - even at those high temperatures. None of the lead had diffused out, even from the bottom core samples three miles deep in a New Mexico hole in a granite formation. Helium analysis - High amounts of helium still in the zircon samples even though temperature at the bottom of the hole was 386.6 degree fahrenheit. A question arises is has there been a change in the decay rates. Gentry found that the halos were always the same size, even though samples were taken from all over the world. This means the polonium decay rates are very reliable. We can know the world was created within less than three minutes. The appearance of age factor should be kept in mind. At the time of the Creation, everything would be made in full-grown condition. Just as trees and chickens were created full size, so all the varied radioactive minerals were made at various stages of decay. No uranium in the centers. Gentry found four other evidences that Po-218 is primary. First, there is no uranium residue at their centers. It has such a long half-life that if it had once been present-it would still be there, actively decaying. Lead 206/lead 207 ratio. Second, the lead ratio in the central grain reveals that only primary polonium had ever been there. Unique ring structure. Third the number of rings and their structures reveal that the polonium at the center was primary and not secondary. Sunburst pattern missing. Fourth the sunburst pattern-always present when uranium is present - is missing from the Po-218 halos, so they must be primary.

Within the polonium grains and halos is to be found the proof that the message they tell us is true: The granite foundation of the continents had to be made in solid form in less than three minutes.

What a God I serve!

Answer 4

Granite are igneous rocks formed by slowly cooling pockets of magma that were trapped beneath the earth's surface. Crushed granites are used as aggregates in concrete for building. Large pieces are use in buildings (as in Aberdeen) such as for building blocks, columns, steps, trim, decorations. They are also used for long lasting monuments, statues, workstops, stele, etc. Very versatile.

Answer 5

The main use of granite is in building of houses and other buildings.

Answer 6

One use of granite is for worktops. Have a look here: http://www.kitchen-worktops-complete.co.uk - for some information on granite and its use.

Answer 7

the prospect of your proper setting up yet another kitchen are distant. now unlikely that a fabricator will decide on it, except you opt on to haul it to them to position of their boneyard. If it comes out in a unmarried peice. Why are you replacing the grantite?

Answer 8

you can build with it, You get bone china clay from it, xenon gas is immited from it as it decomposes (a noble gass that caused cancer, and can be used in neon type lighting) and you can grind grain with it, sculpt it as did the druids and ancient egyptians, to name but a few things you can do with it...not to mention it has great accoustic qualities..but to explain that will take a long time..and I am on my lunch break

Answer 9

to thow at rival football supporters

Answer 10

it can be used to make very nice Mountains
