The 34 pages that link to Sandstone, each with the reason it gives.

• QuartzRelated: Durable quartz grains often dominate sandstone after less resistant minerals weather away.

• Sedimentary rockBroader topic: It forms when deposited sand is lithified.

• LithificationBroader topic: Its grain framework and cement provide a clear record of how sediment became rock.

• ShaleCompared with: Its larger grains make sandstone a textural contrast to shale.

• QuartziteNarrower topic: Quartzite forms when quartz-rich sandstone is altered by heat and pressure.

• Buddhas of BamiyanRelated: The cliff’s sandstone made the monumental carving possible while remaining vulnerable to erosion.

• Khmer architectureRelated: Carved sandstone supplied the visible surfaces and structural blocks of major temples.

• FlyschRelated: Flysch commonly includes sandstone beds deposited by sediment-laden flows.

• Siwalik HillsBroader topic: Siwalik sandstones preserve deposits from ancient channels and floodplains.

• UluruNarrower topic: Uluru consists mainly of arkose, a coarse-grained sandstone.

• Yungang GrottoesRelated: Its local cliffs provided the material, while their weathering threatens carved surfaces.

• Kaieteur FallsRelated: The sandstone escarpment forms the ledge over which the Potaro plunges.

• SiltstoneCompared with: Its grains are larger than siltstone's, making the boundary a grain-size distinction.

• Tassili n'AjjerNarrower topic: The plateau's resistant sandstone layers produce its cliffs, pillars, and rock shelters.

• Table MountainBroader topic: Its resistant layers create the mountain’s steep faces and broad summit.

• Wadi RumNarrower topic: Its exposed layers form many of Wadi Rum’s cliffs, arches, and towers.

• CementationBroader topic: Its strength and pore structure often reflect the amount and type of cement.

• Saxon SwitzerlandNarrower topic: Saxon Switzerland’s cliffs and pinnacles are sandstone landforms.

• Abu SimbelRelated: The temples were carved into sandstone, which shaped both their original construction and relocation.

• Ennedi PlateauRelated: The plateau’s resistant sandstone supplies the material sculpted into cliffs and arches.

• GreywackeNarrower topic: Greywacke is a compositionally immature variety of sandstone.

• Guarani AquiferRelated: Porous sandstone layers provide the principal storage medium for the aquifer’s water.

• Leshan Giant BuddhaRelated: The cliff’s workable sandstone enabled the statue’s immense scale and detailed carving.

• MudrockCompared with: Sandstone’s coarser grains separate it from mudrock.

• Belogradchik RocksNarrower topic: Sandstone layers form part of the rock formations and weather into cliffs and pillars.

• Cerro SarisariñamaNarrower topic: The mountain’s sandstone geology governs how its plateau weathers and collapses.

• Clastic rockBroader topic: Sandstone is the defining clastic rock of sand-sized sediment.

• ExternsteineNarrower topic: The formation's towering outcrops consist chiefly of this rock.

• Golden Gate Highlands National ParkNarrower topic: Weathering of sandstone shapes the park’s cliffs, overhangs, and caves.

• Lion MonumentNarrower topic: The monument’s figure and surrounding cliff are carved from sandstone.

• Melnik Earth PyramidsBroader topic: The pyramids consist chiefly of sandstone whose cohesion varies across the landscape.

• Prachov RocksNarrower topic: The towers and ravines are carved from layers of this sedimentary rock.

• ScleromochlusNarrower topic: The sandstone matrix surrounding its fossils complicates anatomical study.

• Yonaguni MonumentNarrower topic: The formation consists largely of sandstone, which can split along natural planes.
