Is limestone rock hard or soft?
Generally speaking, when a geologist talks of "soft rocks" and "hard rocks" what he or she means is "sedimentary rocks" or "igneous and metamorphic rocks". Limestone is a sedimentary rock, and compared to most other rocks, is relatively soft. lol Different limestones have different hardnesses. Most "marbles" are actually hard limestones, because they have not experienced the high pressures and temperatures required for metamorphism.
Because of the high temperatures and extreme pressure rocks in the asthenosphere are?
soft and flowingsoft and flowing
How do large rocks become tiny rocks?
This is due to the rock cycle and erosion
What happens to rocks that are pushed under earth's surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
They become exposed to deformation in a process called metamorphism, and become metamorphic rocks.
Why are fossils formed in sedmentary rocks?

How can igneos rocks become sedimentary rocks?

Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.

How do big rocks become little rocks?
By weathering
When water moves on top of rocks what do the rocks become?
Erosion causes them to become smooth from wear.
