Explain the statement One rock is the raw material for another?

Answer 1

The rock cycle is a complex cycle that involves the formation and deterioration of rocks. This cycle is also interrelated with many other cycles in earth's system of cycles. But the rock cycle displays the "one rock is the raw material for another", because rocks go through three phases/types: igneous, sedimentary, and matamorphic rock. Igneous rock forms when they are a part of magma and they cool off , also known as crystalization. This crystalization can and will form either under the earth's surface or on the surface following an eruption. The rock that is formed is then exposed to any number of wearthering elements. These weathering elements will deteriorate the rock until it is eventually turned into sediment. This sediment is typically carried down by gravity into any number of basins: the ocean, river beds, swamps, deserts, etc. This sediment eventually becomes buried under many many more layers of sediment. The resulting pressure from all the sediment above forces the sediment to solidify or undergo lithification( conversion into rock). This sedimentary rock is loosely fitting until water comes and fills in the gaps with binding minerals. This sedimentary rock is either eventually involved in seismic activity or forced back into the magma flow into which it will become a part of the whole system. This rock is known as metamorphic rock. This metamorphic rock involves rock that has lossed its solid properties due to either heat or pressure. So, over any given period of years a rock may be formed, eroded, melted, and formed all over again any number of times. Thus bringing to light the "one rock is the raw material for another".

Answer 2

Yes. Through the Rock Cycle.

ROCK CYCLE IS A CYCLE THAT INCLUDES FORMATION AND DETERIORATION OF ROCKS. ROCK CYCLE DISPLAYS ''ONE ROCK IS THE RAW MATERIAL FOR ANOTHER'' BECAUSE ROCKS UNDERGOES THREE TYPES : IGNEOUS , SEDIMENTARY AND METAMORPHIC ... IGNEOUS ROCKS FORM BY CRYSTALLIZATION ,, SEDIMENTARY ROCKS FORM BY MEANS OF WEATHERING AND EROSION AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS FORM BY MEANS OF METAMORPHISM , SO OVER MANY YEARS ROCKS ARE FORMED, ERODED, MELTED AND FORMED ALL OVER AGAIN IN ANY NUMBER OF TIMES .. SO THAT EXPLAINS THE STATEMENT '' ONE ROCK IS THE RAW MATERIAL FOR ANOTHER''

Answer 3

ummm let me think rite quick it means that all rocks are different and their or different kinds of rock

Answer 4

big dck

Answer 5

Coquina is simply identified biochemical limestone which is a rough rock composed of loosely cemented shells and shell fragments. Because coquina is formed into a rock from shells, which are generated by animals in the ocean, and limestone which is a plentiful sedimentary rock composed mainly of the mineral calcite, I think the spheres linked with it are the geosphere - solid earth or coarse rock, the hydrosphere- the water portion and the biosphere, which is the entirely of all life on our planet, as it can’t come into exist without the life of the animals that created the shells. The geosphere is considered that portion of the Earth system that includes the Earth's interior, rocks and minerals, landforms and the processes that shape the Earth's surface.. the biosphere relates to the biological ties it has with the shells which takes form in the hydrosphere and can wash up on land, where it can make contact with the atmosphere. In result, all have some connection, but the two that are most nearly connected are the geosphere and biosphere
