Why do rocks in the desert get so hot?
Rocks in the desert are exposed to heat and sunlight throughout the day. This exposure to great heat and sunlight causes the rocks to turn hot. Darker rocks like cement or asphalt can turn hotter because dark colors absorb heat.
What rocks can absorb water?
Some rocks that are known to absorb water include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks have interconnected pore spaces that allow water to be drawn in and stored within their structure.
Do dark rocks absorb more heat than light rocks?
Dark rocks will absorb more radiant heat than light rocks, for the same reason that any dark object absorbs more heat than an equivalent light object. Light objects appear "light" to us because they reflect more light than objects which appear dark. Dark objects appear dark because they absorb more light and reflect less. However, dark objects will radiate more heat that light objects. Actually, dark rocks do NOT absorb more radiant heat than light rocks. Nor do they radiate more heat than light rocks. Dark rocks DO absorb more LIGHT than light rocks and they then radiate this light at heat. Light rocks reflect the light rather than absorb it and therefore do not radiate as much heat. If you put a light rock and a dark rock next to a HEAT source, the amount of heat absorbed will be related to the makeup of the material rather than to the color.
Do rocks absorb oxygen?
No, rocks do not absorb oxygen. Rocks are composed of minerals and do not have the ability to undergo the chemical process of absorbing oxygen.
Does igneous rocks absorb water?
igneous rocks do absorb water because of all the pores ,cracks, and holes in them. The holes will absorb the water and the water will get trapped in the rock there for igneous rocks do absorb water.
What are some examples of rocks that absorb odors?
Some examples of rocks that absorb odors include activated charcoal, zeolite, and lava rocks. These rocks have porous surfaces that can trap and neutralize odors in the air.

Does chloroplast absorb energy and manufacture it?
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
What is the input energy in falling rocks?
The input energy in falling rocks comes from the gravitational potential energy stored in the rocks when they are at a higher elevation. As the rocks fall, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
