What is the cycle for the rock cycle?
The rock cycles are used to understand how rocks are made and how they change from metamorphic to sedamentary and so on. It is a chart to explain it.
How can two different scientist study the same rock formation and give two different explanations?
Everyone has a different personality and a different mindset. Similarly the scientists would explain the same topic according to their own opinion or observations.
How do plate tectonics explain the formation of metamorphic rocks?
Movement of the plates takes rock and sediment into different geologic spaces. Convergence and subduction zones push some rock up, while dragging other rock down. This causes changes in the mineral component.
How each type of rock is formed?
Rock formation is categorized into 3 different groups:sedimentary,igneous, & metamorphic.
What two cycles determine the formation of mineral deposits?
Two cycles determine how mineral deposits are formed-the rock cycle and the tectonic cycle. Heat from the Earth's interior melts some of the rocks in the crust (the upper part of the lithosphere).
Which are the five cycles?
The: Rock Cycle Water Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Carbon Cycle
What do the different sizes of rock tell us about the rock?
The size of a rock or rock particle is a general indicator of the distance it has travelled from the point of origin of the parent rock formation.
How does freezethaw effect rocks?
Freeze/thaw cycles expand existing fissures in existing rock by the expansion caused by ice crystal formation. This leads to further erosion of the rock by freeze/thaw and chemical weathering from rainwater.
What are the processes of rock cycles?
Igneous Rock Metamorphic Rock Sedimentary Rock
What is the formation of sedimentary rock?
the formation of a sedimentary rock is first weathering. Weathering breaks into smaller piece's. Next is erosion. Erosion is when it moves the sediment to different places. Deposition after that and what deposition do is forming a sedimentary rock when it rains, snow ect. It slows the rock formation down and less energy and sediment will be on the sedimentary rock. Last it is compaction. and that squeezs the sedimentary rock together
What does Cyclical?
revolving or cecurring in cycles; characterized by recurrence in cycles Rock on!!
How mouy freeze thaw weathering lead to the formation of a scree slope?
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and breaks the rock apart. Over time, this process weakens the rock, causing it to fragment and break into smaller pieces. The repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to the formation of scree slopes as the broken rock fragments accumulate at the base of steep slopes.
