how many tons of rock are in a yard?
22.5
One yard of goose egg stones is more than one ton. One yard equals 1.27 tons. One yard of pea gravel equals 1.29 tons.
2,940 US gallons of water weighs about 11.14 metric tons.
Metamorphic rocks are created by the physical or chemical alteration by heat and pressure of an existing igneous or sedimentary material into a denser form. This rock was compressed into an metamorphic by the tons and tons of pressure causing it to overheat and cause a change which can be chemical or physical.
Unless the rock is completely flat, there is no point in measuring the rock in yards.
there is about 1.25 yards to a ton,so 22.5 tons would be approx 18 yards
This depends on how much rock you will use per square yard. Suppose you intend to use 1/100 tons (=20 lb) per square yard. Then if you have one ton of rock, it will cover 100 square yards. Similarly, if you intended to use 1/50 tons per square yard, 1 ton will cover 50 square yards. In general you want to use factor labeling: If you are using x tons per square yard, then write this as (1 square yard) / (x tons of rock) = (1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) This is called a conversion factor. Now, if you have some quantity of rock, say y tons of rock, and you want to see how many square yards it would cover you just multiply (y tons of rock)*(1/x)*(square yards/tons of rock) = y/x (square yards*tons of rock/tons of rock) = y/x square yards since the labels just divide out.
You need to know the weight of 1 cub. yard of rock.
Yards can't be converted to tons. Yards measure length, while tons measure mass.
That depends on the exact size of the rocks, - however a good rule of thumb for river rock in general is about 1.4 -1.6 tons per cubic yard. -So 14 cubic yards would be approximately 20 tons.

Depends on material. 1.25 yards of feathers is lighter that 1.25 yards of lead.
Yards can't be converted to metric tons. Yards measure length, while metric tons measure mass.
None
Your question is incomplete. Yards does not convert to tons unless we know what kind of yards and if it is cement, water or what other density you are dealing with.
