You can use what's know as the displacemenent method. Take a beaker the has a known volume and fill to the half -way point and make a note of the volume. Put the rocks into the water and now measure the volume. The volume of the rocks is the difference between your first measurement and the second.

Can a rocks volume be 250 mL?

Yes. It would be hard to find a rock with that volume, but I'm sure there is one out there.


What is the best way to find the densities between two rocks?

The best way to find the densities between two rocks is by conducting a displacement test. You will need to measure the volume of water displaced when the rocks are submerged, and then calculate the density using the mass of the rocks and the displaced water.

What procedure would you use to find the rocks mass and volume?

For volume, look up Archimedes' Principle. For mass, if you don't know this you should flunk.

How does the volume of sedimentary rocks in Earth's crust compare with the volume of igneous rocks in the crust?

Sedimentary rocks make up about 75% of Earth's crust by volume, while igneous rocks make up about 15-20%. Sedimentary rocks form through processes like erosion, deposition, and cementation, while igneous rocks form from the cooling of molten magma.


What two items are best to use to determine the combined volume of three small rocks?

You can use a graduated cylinder or a measuring cup filled with water to determine the combined volume of three small rocks. Simply measure the initial water level, then add the rocks and measure the new water level for the volume displaced, which represents the combined volume of the rocks.


How do you compare the densities of two rock samples?

Divide each rock's mass by its volume. The rock with the higher number is denser. To find the volume, measure the rocks in a graduated cylinder, the one that displaces more water is denser.


Why does it take less time for small rocks to wear away than it does for large rocks wear away?

Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
