Why aren't there any sedimentary rocks on the moon?
because there is no air on the moon therefore there is no weathering and no weathering means no erosion and then theres no sediment for the wind to carry which means no sedimentary rocks can be formed
Why are there rocks on the moon that are older that any rocks on earth?
There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.
Is there any dirt on the moon?
There is dirt and sand on the moon because you don't have to have water to have erosion and weathering. The rocks on the moon are weathered by cold and by impact from meteors.
Why are there rocks on the moon that are older than any rock on earth?

How does weathering and erosion change moons surface?
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.
Is there any difference between erosion and weathering of rocks?
erosion reqiures movement and weathering doesnt
Is there any thing on the moon?
Yes, there are rocks on the moon!
Why are the rocks on the moon that are older than any of any rocks on us?
Because
Is abrasion chemical or mechanical weathering?
Abrasion is a type of mechanical weathering that occurs when rocks are physically broken down by the friction and impact of other rocks, sand, or sediment. This process does not involve any chemical reactions.
Does mechanical weathering have a part in breaking down the statue of liberty?
No. Mechanical weathering takes place when rocks are broken down without any change in the chemical nature of the rocks.
Is a tornado least responsible for the weathering of rocks?
Yes, tornadoes are not a significant factor in the weathering of rocks. Tornadoes mainly cause physical erosion by moving and transporting rocks and sediment. Other factors like water, wind, and temperature fluctuations play a larger role in the chemical and mechanical weathering of rocks over time.
What does not contribute to physical weathering?
Chemical reactions do not contribute to physical weathering. Physical weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without any change in their chemical composition.
