What else can I help you with?
What natural event could have caused something as hard as a rock to break?
Any form of mechanical weathering causes rock to break into smaller pieces. A landslide will definitely cause rock to break. Meteor impact, plant root growth, ice wedging, and the movement of animals will also cause weathering.
How do sudden temperature changes cause weathering of rock?
Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal stress on rocks, leading to expansion and contraction. This repeated stress can cause the rocks to weaken and eventually break apart through a process known as thermal weathering. Additionally, frost wedging can occur when water enters cracks in the rock, freezes, and expands, further contributing to the weathering process.
What is a predator of a rock pool?
It needs to be able to adapt to sudden changes in temperature and salinity.
What change rock inside the earth?
temperature
What do changes in temperature cause rock to do?
Changes in temperature cause rock to expand and contract. This may cause them to crack, and pieces may break off.
What type of rock can be formed without a change in temperature?
sedimentary.
When a hammer break s a large rock into smaller pieces the broken rock is on example of what kind of change?
phyiscal change
What does river do to rock cycle?
it can flip the rock and break of sediment and freeze it and maybe even change color
How could a single rock change into each of the three rock types?
A single rock can change into each of the three rock types through geological processes. First, igneous rock can form from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Over time, weathering and erosion can break down that rock into sediments, which may then compact and cement to form sedimentary rock. Finally, if sedimentary rock is subjected to high pressure and temperature, it can metamorphose into metamorphic rock, completing the rock cycle.
How does temperature change erode rock?
If water is caught in cracks in the rock and it freezes it expands. This causes the rock to chip off.
How would a sedimentary rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Through metamorphism, as a result of increase in pressure and/or temperature.
How could an igneous rock change to a metamorphic rock?
Under influence of pressure and temperature, a rock can change, the process is called deformation or metamorphism, the result is a metamorphic rock. This can happen to igneous rocks as well.
