What is the tectonic force where rocks are broken?
Deposition, because it is the breaking down of all rocks.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
How do changes in temperature cause rocks to break down?
It breaks down the rocks
Does weathering break rocks down?
Yes
How rocks from a cliff can be broken down to become sand?
Erosion is the main force that acts on rocks to break them down into sand. Water getting into cracks, freezing and expanding also helps to break down rocks.
How does hurricane affect erosion and deposition?
In a hurricane, the rocks that are hard get broken down so erosion takes the rocks away to another place. Deposition is when the settling of soil and rocks so deposition is when the broken rocks get settled down into the ground or break down further and become sand.
What is a feature created by deposition?
Sediments are created by deposition.They may further consolidate into sedimentary rocks.
What can weathering and erosion do?
weathering can break down rocks into sediments then erosion carries the sediments from one place to another. Last but not least deposition lies all the sediments down
What is the tectonic force where rocks are broken?
Deposition, because it is the breaking down of all rocks.
Which force does not break down rocks in nature?
sunlight does not break down rocks
Can a sedimentary rock be formed from lava or magma?
Yes but it must be done through weathering and erosion to break down those rocks and then deposition and finally cementation
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
What types of rocks initially form from deposition?
Deposition forms sedimentary rocks.
How do changes in temperature cause rocks to break down?
It breaks down the rocks
Rocks break down to?
soil
What are two processes that can break down rocks?
Mechanical wethering and Chemical wethering are the two major process that break down the rocks.
What is the difference between conformable and unconformable strata?
When layers of rocks are deposited in a continuous succession through time without any significant break in deposition they are conformable. But if deposition is interrupted or there is an episode of erosion between deposition then the boundary between the older and younger rocks is unconformable, in essence part of the geologic record is missing.
