are landslides sometimes caused because of a foundation made of Sandstone?

Answer: possibly but it can also be caused by chemical erosion by water which seeps through cracks in the rock and expands at night time when it is frozen, which then splits after time and causes the rock to break away which in turn will knock other rocks and eventually cause some effect of a landslide.

WikiProject Ohio

If we put this page in the project of every geographical area that sandstone occurs, we'll end up with hundreds. There would need to be something unusually remarkable about the sandstones in Ohio for the inclusion of this article in the relevant WikiProject to make any sense. Mikenorton (talk) 11:01, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the rationale was that Berea, Ohio was a notable producer of sandstone dimension stone in the 1800s. Berea sandstone redirects here, although the article makes no mention of Berea sandstone. Mgnbar (talk) 15:55, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ages of rocks?

Could we have some info on the geologic ages and histories (sources) of certain famous sandstone formations? --Monado (talk) 02:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps: first we would need to know to what "famous sandstone formations" you are referring. Vsmith (talk) 03:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

We need more info about sandstone in the Infobox. If anyone has more info about sandstone that could be added to the Infobox, please add it to the Infobox. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punk4orchrist (talk • contribs) 14:20, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cerebral726: Are you reverting because of minor grammatical mistake? This is pointless. I propose we fix and keep links.

AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 08:12, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I’m a little confused what you want to change? I fixed the grammar issue and link minerals, which seemed to be your original goal. What is your proposed change? Cerebral726 (talk) 10:59, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

pictures

The first image of the article looks a bit like wood. If you can find a better example, please add it. I found a microscopic view of quartz sandstone, but the article would further more be interesting if more of these images are added. 240D:1A:113:9B00:10C8:6EAC:8736:6818 (talk) 06:55, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sandstone manufacture

This came to me in a dream, so basically out of nowhere. Other than I once worked in a quarry. Is it possible to artificially manufacture sandstone from natural sand deposits? Or to turn sand into sandstone by use of pressure, chemicals and heat? Rlslemmer (talk) 10:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
