Naturally occurring? Probably not. You need existing ice to be exposed to something like 3GPa. By increasing the pressure you’re generating heat. A lot of heat. So a separate system would need to be present to get rid of said heat or to start in a cold enough environment. So three problems as I see …

Sorting and identification. Additionally, some of the decision making, but this is largely related to the above items.
If an object has mass, Earth supplies the gravity, ergo you have weight.
Gravity would feel weightless. You probably wouldn’t notice as the pressure would be sufficient to crush you into a small super-heated ball.
Firstly, you may have noticed that your body is in contact with the ground now. So, we are already there. I think the question you mean to ask is how much more gravity would be required before you would be unable to stand or move about freely. This largely depends on two things. How much …
First scenario, sound. Because you are in a plane you are in a fairly sealed environment. The air around you is traveling roughly at the same speed you are traveling. As such, all sound and speech within the plane would appear normal to you as would the look of everything around you. Second scenario, speed …
Roughly speaking; yes. We lose a few tons per year from the atmosphere, we gain a few from debris falling onto Earth. But basically you can consider it constant. The bigger problem tends to be water mixing with other materials so that we can’t readily use it as water. Or components of water being tied …

1′x10′ 2′x5′ A little more than 3′x3′ Hold your arms out. That far all around you is about 10sqft.
This is a highly subjective question. By scale: The great wall of China Three Gorges Dam By cultural significance: The Eiffel tower The empire state building Toyko tower The great pyramids Probably the best answer is any building/structure a small group of people could name off the top of their heads. But, I don’t think …

The granite sink is carved or hollowed out granite. The composite will be a cement/concrete type construction using granite or similar material as the aggregate or filler. The carved granite will be considered more luxurious, but composites tend to be better sinks, all other things being the same.
