Because the marble has a higher density than the water does
I'm looking to buy new marble countertops and I'm wondering where I can find a cost effective place to buy marble countertops?
Because marble sinks in water.
In the town of Marble, Colorado. Marble from Marble, CO. was used to build the Lincoln Memorial In Washington D.C.
Yes. Raw marble (untreated marble) will absorb water. However this doesn't mean it will absorb so much water it will have a significantly larger mass. Treated marble that has a thin silicon layer will not absorb water.
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.
No because the marble was just added to make the water level rise
If you combine it with an acid, it will react and release a small amount of water but the marble will be destroyed completely.
The marble will sink.
