How do rocks breakdown?
diagenesis
What type of sedimentary rocks from from the breakdown of larger rocks?
Clastic
What is causing the breakdown of sedimentary rocks?
The breakdown of sedimentary rocks is primarily caused by weathering processes such as physical (mechanical) weathering, chemical weathering, and biological weathering. Physical weathering involves the mechanical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, while chemical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks through chemical reactions. Biological weathering is the breakdown of rocks by living organisms such as plants and burrowing animals.
Does weathering breakdown rocks?
yes;)
What is the name of the chemical breakdown of rocks?
The chemical breakdown of rocks is called weathering. This process involves the physical and chemical breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces due to exposure to elements such as water, wind, and temperature changes.
What type of sedimentary rocks form the the breakdown of larger rocks?
Clastic rocks are made from fragments of pre-existing rocks.
What is mechanical breakdown of rocks by the action of others rocks and sand particles?
Mechanical erosion.
What type of sedimentary rocks form from the breakdown of larger rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the breakdown of larger rocks through weathering and erosion. The resulting sediments are deposited and undergo compaction and cementation to form rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate.
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
The mechanical breakdown of rocks by the action of other rocks and sand particles is called?
weathering
What mechanical breakdown of rocks by the action of other rocks and sand particles is?
mechanical or physical weathering
What type of sedimentary rocks form the breakdown of larger rocks?
Clastic sedimentary rocks form from the breakdown and erosion of larger rocks, through processes like weathering, transportation, and deposition. These sediments are then compacted and cemented together to form rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerates.
