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 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.
Is igneous harder than sedimentary rocks?
Not necessarily. The hardness of a rock depends on its mineral composition and how it formed, rather than the type of rock it is. Some igneous rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks, while others may be softer. It varies depending on the specific rock type within each category.
Is gold stronger than rock?
Gold is softer than most rocks, such as granite or quartz. It can be easily scratched or dented with sharp objects. Rocks, on the other hand, are typically harder and more durable than gold.
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.
Can a harder rock erode more quicker then a softer rock?
No, harder rocks generally erode more slowly than softer rocks because they are more resistant to weathering and abrasion. Soft rocks tend to be more easily worn away by wind, water, and other environmental factors.
Are metamorphic rocks harder than others?
uh, i think you mean 'metamorphic'....
