What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Subjection to extreme temperatures is an example of this type of weathering?
Subjection to extreme temperatures is an example of physical weathering, where rocks are broken down into smaller pieces due to repeated heating and cooling cycles. This process is known as thermal stress weathering.
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
Magnetic force does not break down rocks in nature. Rocks are typically broken down by mechanical weathering (e.g. frost wedging, root growth) and chemical weathering (e.g. oxidation, dissolution).
Rocks break down to?
soil
What are the processes that break down rocks?
Weathering
What plants break down rocks?
none
Does weathering break rocks down?
Yes
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
Can temperatures break down rocks?
Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
