Natural aggregates- sand, gravel, and crushed stones- are granular materials composed of rock fragments that are mined or quarried and used in their natural state except for such operations as crushing, washing, and sizing. Natural aggregate is an essential commodity in modern society. Buldings, highways, roads, bridges, railroads, airports, seaports, water and waste treatment facilities, and energy generation facilities are all heavily dependent on natural aggregate. At every stage of life, nearly every individual in society uses products made with aggregate. (All text for this waymark was copied from a report written by William H. Langer and M. L. Tucker for the USGS.)
