Coal can weather and erode through physical and chemical processes. Physical weathering occurs when coal is exposed to temperature changes, leading to cracking and fragmentation. Chemical weathering happens when coal reacts with moisture and oxygen, resulting in the breakdown of its organic compounds. Over time, these processes can lead to the disintegration of coal deposits, especially in areas with significant environmental exposure.

What is after lava but before boulder?
After lava cools down and solidifies, it forms rocks. These rocks can then weather and erode into small fragments called boulders.
Does heat and metamorphism cause rock to weather and erode?
Heat and metamorphism do not directly cause rocks to weather and erode. Weathering and erosion are primarily driven by physical processes like water, wind, and ice acting on rocks at the Earth's surface. However, heat and metamorphism can alter the mineral and chemical composition of rocks, potentially making them more susceptible to weathering and erosion over time.
What type of landscape would erode quickly?
what types of landscapes erode faster
What can affect the rate at whick a rock weathers?
Rocks weather due to physical changes. They can also weather as a result of chemical processes. Things that can affect the rate at which a rock weathers includes weather conditions. Rocks can decompose due to wind and water. The more intense the weather conditions, the more progressive the weathering process will be.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
How does weather and water erode rocks?
By doing erosion
What might erode a mountain and make it rounded and smooth?

Can air weather a rock?
the force of air can erode a rock
What happened to Rock formations as they age?
They weather and erode, forming sediments.
What body of water can cause a rock to weather?
he constant movement of water anywhere causes rocks to erode and weather.
Why do glaciers change over time?
because the weather can erode them o away or even build them up, it depnds on the weather
What property of water allows it to form sinkholes?
It's ability to weather and erode rock.
What are verbs that describes rocks?
Some verbs that describe rocks are: crumble, weather, erode, and shatter.
Why are there so many more carters on the moon than on earth's land?
No wind/weather to erode them
What happen when acid rain fall's on limestone?
it starts to weather (erode). Details of the chemical reaction can be found by following the link below.
Can you repair a convertible top with adhesive?
Maybe for a limited time. Weather will erode the adhesive fairly soon.
Why did mercury's craters erode very slowly?
Mercury barely has an atmosphere, so weather erosion is non-existent.
