Why is Erosion important?
Erosion is important because without it material wouldn't be able to move from one location to another.
Where does molten rock cool slowly?
Because the surrounding materials are nearly the same temperature as the molten rock material.
What does filtered mean?
The meaning is :a porous device for removing impurities or solid particles from a liquid or gas passed through it:verb1 pass (a liquid,) through a device to remove unwanted material:2 Computing process or treat with a filter.HOPE THIS HELP
What part of earth is solid but stil moves and flows slowly?
The mantle under the crust it is made of molten rock material
Which is an example of gas effusion?
One example of gas effusion is the release of a gas through a small hole in a container, such as when air slowly escapes from a balloon. Another example would be the diffusion of gas molecules through a porous membrane, like the way oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of our lungs during respiration.
What rock weathers very slowly?
igneous rock
Does humidity cause any effect on drying of porous or non porous solid?
Humidity is a mayor factor in thing drying. Needles to say a porous material is likely to have water within it and therefore will dry more slowly. However regardless of the material high humidity at the time will slow down the drying process and low humidity will speed it up.
What is the answer to deep soils develop quickly where rock weathers slowly either slowly or quickly or rapidly?
Rapidly
In wet climates granite weathers more slowly than?
marble
What does acid rain do to rocks and buildings?
It chemically weathers them, slowly dissolving their outer surfaces.
How does acid rain harm buildings?
It melts them slowly, drop by drop. Although this usually is more apparent on trees, it weathers the stone/plaster/building material. It usually isn't that apparent because buildings are so huge when put in comparison with the damage caused by acid rain, but it happens.
What does percolate means?
Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It is like making coffee. The coffee gets strained through a filter.
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?
i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.
What is the luster of chalk?
Chalk has a dull, matte luster. Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary rock, composed of the mineral calcite. Because chalk is porous it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.
What is a material that conducts electric current slowly?
Material with high resistance
What is the definition of the word phosphoresent?
The word phosphorescence is a material similar to fluorescence but it does not give out light quickly. It does this because it slowly absorbs radiation.
Why does andesite cool slowly?
Andesite cools quickly because it forms from material erupted onto the surface, and so is composed to a cool environment.
