No, igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks on average.
What are extrusive rocks and intrusive rocks?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
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 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.

Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
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.
Why do different rocks weather at different rates?

Are some rocks harder than other rocks?
Absolutely, based on the hardness of the minerals that compose them.
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.
What is the outside of a river bend called?
Because the inside of the meander has deposited rocks and rubble building it up and making the water shallower whereas the outside of ther meander is being eroded by fast moving water.
