Why do different rocks weather at different rates?
Depending on the minerals in their composition, some rocks are harder than others. Rocks that contain minerals with higher ratings on the Mohs scale are harder, and would erode more slowly than other rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks are harder than igneous rocks?
No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
Are rocks harder than teeth?
no, teeth are harder than rocks
How can rocks be similar and different?
Rocks could be similar in some respect and different in other respects, for example, you could have two kinds of rock, both of which are pink in color, but one of which is much harder than the other one.
Why do rocks erode at different rates?
Some rocks are harder than others like sandstone which is very soft. Other times rock can have different conditions under which they will erode faster such as limestone.
Why do clams put holes in rocks?
Clam predators. Often other molluscs, such as snails or another clam will make a hole in a clam shell.
How hard are sedimentary rocks?
harder than metamorphic
Why is intrusive rock harder than a extrusive igneous rock?
The rocks are underground so intrusive rocks are under pressure so its harder.
Which is harder obsidian or plain regular rock?
Impossible to say, not knowing the definition of plain regular rock. There are some rocks harder than obsidian, while many are softer.
Are metamorphic rocks harder than others?
uh, i think you mean 'metamorphic'....
Why is intrusive rock usually harder than extrusive rock?
Intrusive rocks are under pressure so they are usually harder.
Is igneous harder than sedimentary rocks?
They are generally harder because of their interlocking crystalline structure and mineral composition.
