It is harder to raise the temperature of water than it is to raise the temperature of a rock.

It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C,

whereas it only takes 0.02 calorie to heat a gram of rock to that temperature.

Is coal sedimentary?

Coal is a sedimentary rock. However, harder forms of coal, because of exposure to elevated temperature and pressure, are metamorphic rock.


How does the presence of water affect the melting temperature of a rock?

The presence of water can lower the melting temperature of a rock by facilitating the movement of ions and promoting the process of melting. Water reduces the viscosity of molten rock, making it easier for the rock to melt at lower temperatures.


How does water affect the melting temperature of rock at a convergent boundry?

Can softer rock erode faster when rock is soft?

Yes, softer rock tends to erode faster than harder rock due to its lower resistance to weathering processes. Factors such as water, wind, and temperature changes can more easily break down and transport softer materials. Additionally, softer rocks may have more fractures or porous structures that facilitate erosion. As a result, they can be significantly more susceptible to erosion compared to their harder counterparts.
