What type of rock is?
There are three major types of rocks: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Rocks are classified based on the process by which they were formed. Sedimentary rocks form from sand, dust, and tiny rock particles that are fused by water and extreme pressure over time. Igneous rocks form from cooled magma or lava; depending on how fast they were cooled and solidified, igneous rocks may or may not go through crystallization. Metamorphic rocks are rocks that changed from either sedimentary rocks, igneous ones, or other metamorphic rocks. These generally form from wind, water, or chemical erosion.
Where does erosion take place?
Erosion can occur on land or in water. It is usually caused by weathering from the sun or prolonged contact with water. For example, sand is composed of eroded rocks that over time have ground down to the granules that you see as sand. Wind and water contributed to the erosion of the rocks that make up sand..
I am the process by which rocks change over millions of years?
Rocks change through the processes that take place within the rock cycle.
What do paleontologists use to determine age of rocks?
Paleontologists use fossils to determine the relative ages of rocks. Due to evolution the fossil assemblage in rocks changes over time and the different assemblages can therfore be used to place the rocks in which an assemblage is found in its place in the evolutionary sequence.
Are all rocks formed by volcanoes?
no not all rocks are formed by volcanoes because what about sedimentary rocks which are the rocks formed over a long period of time by little pieces of sand and rock etc. by wind and water
What do you call fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
Rapids
What is fast flowwing water that goes over rocks?
I dont really know
What is the six letter word for fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
rapids
What is called fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
Well it is called rapids but I call it a waterfall
How does water effect erosion?
The water loosens the rocks. Then it knocks over other rocks. Then that causes an erosion
Are there rocks under water?
Yes. That is why some rivers have rapids. Water going over rocks create them.
Why are there rocks under water?
Because they fall in the water over time
The river water danced over the rocks?
personification A+ :)
How do sediments get into the water supply?
From rocks in rivers and lakes and when the rocks break up over time the sediments inside the rocks go into the rivers and lakes and overtime into the water supply.
How do use surging in a sentence?
the water was surging over the rocks
How are rapids are formed?
Rapids occur in a shallower part of a river where there is a steep difference in levels. This increases how fast the water flows. Water then hits exposed rocks and creates air bubbles making the water appear white in color.
