Why do people use weather maps?
to determine the weather
How do the different elements determine weather?
temprature
What are the instrument used to determine your weather?
You could watch TV on the weather channel to get a forecast. However, you can use a weather station to determine your current weather, careful though, some instruments are inaccurate. In order to get accurate measurements, always follow the instructions included with your weather station.
What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?
Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by Lithification. Metamorphic rocks texture depends on how much eat and pressure was exerted on it. Sedimentary rocks texture is usually fine grained. Not much i could find on compare.
What type of rock can weather and wear away?
All rocks can be susceptible to weathering, or erosion by natural (and sometimes manmade) forces. It does not matter if it is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. Intrusive rocks, below the surface of the Earth's crust, are not as weathered as rocks above the surface (extrusive), which are stripped of sediment and particles more frequently due to water, wind, etc.
Why do most extrusive igneous rocks have small crystals?
Extrusive igneous rocks have small crystals.Why do extrusive rocks have small crystals?Extrusive rocks are formed as lava flows cool immediately after a volcano erupts. This fast cooling forces the crystals to develop in a short period of time. Hence, the individual mineral molecules only have enough time to align themselves in a small crystalline lattice. That is why an extrusive igneous rock has a very high density of tiny mineral crystals (an aphanitic texture).Why do intrusive rocks have large crystals?Intrusive rocks are formed beneath the earths surface where the temperature is high and magmatic intrusions cool over a very long period of time. Since they solidify so slowly the individual mineral molecules have much more time to arrange into very large crystals.Do all igneous rocks have crystals?Obsidian is an igneous rock that solidifies almost in an instant. This gives no time for any crystals to develop. This is why obsidian has a very smooth glass like texture.
What weather cause a Igneous rock to form?
igneos rock is formed when magma cools.not by weather
In the rock cycle what is formed when igneous rocks weather?
Sediment
Why do people use weather maps?
to determine the weather
What type of igneous rock cools faster?
extrusive rocks cools faster because it is in open air or under the sea
Which types of rock can weather and wear away to form sediment?
Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
When does weathering of rock begin?
The process of weathering (the creation of smaller rock particles from a larger rock body), begins as soon as the rock body is exposed to any cause of weathering. The weathering could start immediately in the case of extrusive igneous rock, which is formed from molten material on the surface, when acid in water chemically attacks the surface. Igneous rock underground can begin to weather simply by the erosion of the rock above it, which releases pressure on it, causing the rock body to expand and fracture.
How do you determine what to wear for the weather?
look out the window.
How do the different elements determine weather?
temprature
Which statue will weather more slowly a granite one or a limestone one?
Granite will weather more slowly, since it is an igneous rock and is extremely resistant to weathering.
