Study Notes
Types of Rocks
- Igneous rocks are formed when magma solidifies and creates a crystalline rock, also known as intrusive rocks or intrusive igneous rocks.
- The term "igneous" is derived from the word "Ignis" meaning Fire.
Dimension Stone
- Dimension stone is a classification of stone that consists of pieces cut to a specific size.
Cut Stone
- Examples of cut stone include Chat-saw, Shot-saw, Flame Finish, Honed Finish, and Polished Work.
Carved Work
- Carved work is a hand-cut ornamental feature in brick or stone masonry.
Granite
- Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye.
Stone Cladding
- Stone cladding is also known as stone paneling.
Sedimentary Rocks
- Examples of sedimentary rocks include Clastic, Organic, and Chemical.
Quarrying
- Quarrying is the act of extracting rocks, sand, gravel, or minerals from a quarry or an open-pit mine, involving drilling, blasting, cutting, and removing the materials to obtain the desired product.
Herringbone
- Herringbone is a classy form of arranging rectangular tiles to form a focal point, consisting of adjoining vertical rows of slanting lines.
Sandstone
- Sandstone is a sedimentary rock commonly used in construction, particularly for building facades of houses, cathedrals, walls, and flooring.
Droved Finish
- Droved finish is a stone finish obtained by chiseling roughly parallel grooves across the face, also known as a boasted surface.
Metamorphic Rocks
- Examples of regional metamorphic rocks include Verd antique, Gneiss, and Slate rock.
