Because you are just breaking it into smaller pieces. The rock's chemical make up is not being changed.
Crushing a rock is a physical change. It is still rock, just in smaller bits.
When molten rock cools and hardens, it is a physical change because the composition of the rock remains the same. The change in state from liquid to solid does not alter the chemical makeup of the rock.
Grinding something is an example of a physical change, because you are not chemically changing what the substance is, you are only changing the form of it. Another example of a physical change is boiling water, because the water is still water, it's just in a gas form instead of liquid.When something is grinded it is a physical change not a chemical change.
No actually it isn't. Breaking a bone is a physical change. Think about it. Are you changing it into a different substance. No you're not, so it's a physical change.
A physical change
When a sculptor uses a chisel on a rock, the rock undergoes physical change. The chisel physically alters the shape and structure of the rock to create the desired sculpture.
No, the process of a rock melting into magma is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The change is due to an increase in temperature causing the rock to undergo a phase change from solid to liquid.
from what i know there is no physical change that signals the end of metamorphism but there is a physical change during the process of metamorphism. during metamorphism the shape of the rock changes due to force of stress this is a physical change. (a physical change is when the shape or composition ofa substance e.g. rock has changed). by the way i am only 12
hammer+rock+hard impact= quick change physicaly
Physical. It is still dirt/rock, no change to it's nature- just its position.
Physical change: breaking a rock changes its physical appearance without altering its chemical composition. Freezing water involves a physical change where the water molecules rearrange to form a solid structure, without any change in the chemical composition of water.
Throwing rocks is considered a physical change because no new substances are created during the process. The rock remains a rock even after it has been thrown. The change is only in the position and location of the rock, not in its chemical composition.
