What is the force that acts on rock to change its shape?
I believe pressure is the answer you are looking for here. Other forces that change the shape of rocks include weathering and erosion.
Do rocks stay the same shape forever?
No. Weathering and erosion can change them and they can of course get damaged and crack. If they are in the sea, that can affect them. It can be a long and slow process, but rocks do change.
What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?
deformation
How do wind water and ice help shape the surface of the earth?
Water and wind cause erosion. Water and wind have a lot of interaction with rocks. When water and wind rub against rocks they take off tiny little dusty parts. Eventually after years of this system repeating the rocks start to give you a whole new shape. These rocks shape in all types of different ways. In fact most caves are made by erosion.
How do people change the shape of the earth?
Locally, we can change it in small ways, by shifting dirt around. Digging canals, blasting rocks etc. But the overall shape remains the same.
Wind and ice cause what sort of change in rocks?
Yes, this is why rocks in streams are generally smooth. Also, wind can shape rocks due to the small particles it carries.
Why is rocks a physical change?
because there is a change in shape
Is gravity the force that causes rocks to change shape and size?
No, its erosion that causes rocks to change
Why is throwing rocks a physical change?
because there is a change in shape
How do plants and animals shape the Earth's surface?
by borrowing in rocks and form ice wedding
What do rocks form that change shape but do not break?
because of rain
Energy stored in rocks as a change in shape?
Elastic energy
As rocks undergo stress they shape and volume?
slowly change
How ice cube melting is a physical change?
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
What is a change in a rocks shape due to stress?
The change in shape of rock (and any other material) due to stress is called strain.
In geology any change in the original shape or volume of rocks is a?
Deformation
What two things change as rocks undergo stress?
Size and shape.
