Marble
Claim: The construction industry would crumble without rocks.
Rationale: Marble is a renewable resource, which means it doesn’t run out, that’s one of the reasons of why it is used a lot. it is used in buildings for mostly interior uses, but sometimes also exterior uses. It is also used in sculptures. Marble flooring is very popular around the construction industry, this is because marble conveys a good visual appearance and has good durability. Though, like every material it should be take care of (shining, polishing). There is also an alternative option for marble, which is travertine. Travertine is also made from limestone, sometimes its mistaken for marble because of having similar properties. In terms of cost travertine costs half of what marble costs, this is because of not having the same level of visual appearance as marble. Marble is a very important material/rock in the construction industry, as its used for both interior and exterior uses, and its renewable.

Its properties make it useful in some situations while in others, it’s not so useful. Some of Marble’s advantages are that its very durable and can last for ages, marble floor is also scratch resistant. It is a soft stone, which means it can be easily carved to the desired shape and intricate detailing. Some of its disadvantages are that it requires proper care and maintenance, it should also be polished to give it the shiny look, or it can become yellow in colour. It becomes very cold in winter, this is because it conducts heat differently, Marble is a very dense, hard stone, and this makes it easier for heat to transfer from a warmer object, such as the soles of your feet. The heat will then dissipate through the marble quickly, so the marble doesn't feel any
