The Sun unevenly heats the minerals in a rock causing the rock to break. This is an example of?
If the sun unevenly heats the minerals in a rock causing the rock to break, it is an example of physical weathering.
What is an example for ore?
Ore is a rock that contains minerals , an example of an ore can be almost anything!
What plant produces acids that aid in chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering can also be caused by the acids produced by some plants. The simple plant, lichen, is an example. As lichens grown on the surface of rock, an acid is produced that dissolves some of the minerals in the rock. Lichen is often called a "pioneer" plant because it is one of the first plants to grow in a rocky area.
Is it true or false that Chemical weathering occurs when the minerals in a rock react to water oxygen or acids in the environment?
yeah it is true and through that reaction it cause the rock to dissolve slowly
Why is the rock granite a good example for the phrase minerals are the building blocks of rocks?
Granite contains many minerals and minerals are the 'true' building blocks of rocks
The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near earth's surface is known as?
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion

What is the name of a rock that has 2 or more minerals?
Granite is one example of a rock containing two or more minerals.
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of?

Do minerals make up the rock quartz?
Quartz itself is the mineral. Its formula is SiO2. Rocks are aggregates of minerals, so an example of a rock that contains a lot of quartz is granite.

What is it called when chemical reactions dissolve the minerals in rock or change them into different minerals?
It's called dissolution, a form of chemical weathering.
What is a mixture of minerals mineraloids glass or organic matter?
A mixture of minerals, mineraloids, glass, or organic matter called rock. The rock cycle is the model showing the three types of rocks and how they are formed.
Can the minerals which form an intrusive rock also form the same rock but is an extrusive rock?
Yes. For example gabbro and basalt are chemically equivalent (and so are composed of the same minerals), however gabbro is intrusive and basalt is extrusive.
