What is category of igneous extrusive rock?
Some igneous extrusive rocks include obsidian, basalt, andesite, rhyolite, scoria, pumice, basaltic glass. If you want more, go to page 6 on the Earth Science Reference Tables at the related link.
Which igneous rocks are coarse grained due to slow cooling?
All molten rock is capable of cooling quickly into fine-grained rocks, but here are some common fine-grained igneous rocks: Basalt Obsidian Andesite Rhyolite Tuff (a rock made from volcanic ash)
What two specific links are between atmosphere and lithosphere?
One specific link between the atmosphere and lithosphere is the process of weathering. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks on the Earth's surface by atmospheric elements such as rain, wind, and temperature changes. Another specific link is the deposition of sediment by wind and water. Sediment, which includes particles of dirt, sand, and rocks, can be transported by the atmosphere and deposited onto the lithosphere, shaping the landforms over time.
What is a wind-eroded rock called?
erosion is a weathering process. an igneous rock is made by magma, sedimentary rock is made of sediments, and metamorphic rocks are made from heat and pressure. these all are eventually eroded.
What is the hardness of abrasion resistant steel plates?
Abrasion resistant steel plates are plates, which have a high strength and hardness, exhibiting strong resistance to wear and tear. The hardness of the plates is measured in term of brinellhardness. Abrasion resistant steel plates come in various hardness such as 400HB, 450HB, 500HB and 600HB. For more information on abrasion resistant steel plates, please feel free to visit us in the related link.
Pictures of the different kinds of rocks?
Check the link below for pictures of rocks and rock types.
What is an intrusive rock is?
Sedimentary rocks are not intrusive. Igneous rocks are though. See the link below.
How does it take to break down rock to soil?
The process of breaking down rocks into soil through weathering can take thousands to millions of years, depending on factors such as the type of rock, climate, and presence of organisms. Physical weathering, such as freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering, like acid rain, contribute to this gradual process. Over time, the rock is broken down into smaller particles that eventually become part of the soil.
What is the use of abrasion resistant steel plate?
Abrasion resistant steel plates, also known as wear resistant steel plates, are widely used in areas wear the wear and tear of plates is high, such as mining equipment, truck tippers, and cement industry. For more information on the usage of abrasion resistant steel plates, see the related link.
Does weathering have something that makes the rock weathered away?
yes acid rain here is a link for it brainpop.com
How are Sedimentary rocks and Igneous rocks different?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling of molten lava or magma. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the deposition and compaction of sediment grains or by their chemical precipitation in water. For more information please see the related link.
What rock type are Brimham Rocks composed of?
The rock formations known as Brimham Rocks are composed of a type of sandstone known in the UK as Millstone Grit. They were originally deposited around 320 million years ago. The present day shape of the rocks is due to mechanical and freeze thaw weathering that occurred during the Devensian glaciation which commenced around 110,000 years ago and and ended approximately 10,000 years ago.
