Is the rate of soil formation faster in areas that are cold?
yes
What role does weathering play in the formation of soil?
weathering occurs faster in warm and rainy climate. the rate of which soil forms depends on the climate and type of rock. so soil formation is faster when weathering is quicker too.
How long can a limestone quarry produce limestone?
This depends on the size of the limestone deposit, the rate of extraction and the economic viability of the deposit.
Are volcanic rocks fine grained?
yes because of fast cooling rate
A chunk of limestone which is calcium carbonate reacts with acid at a certain rate If the limestone was crushed the rate of reaction between the acid and the limestone would?
good question NOthign happens rock just getts crushed^Do not listen to guest post =/The answer to your question would be that the rate of reaction would increase.Limestone is ther remains of sea creatures that sunk to the bottom of the sea. After millions of years, the bodies decompse and create limestone. Limestone turns into marble. PS, I am 12, you should know this stuff
How does the rate of extinction compares to the rate of species formation on Earth today?
The rate of extinction is faster.

The rate of extinction is faster.
How does the rate of extinction compare to the rate species formation on earth today?
The rate of extinction is faster.
Which do you think will weather at a faster rate sandstone or grantie?
sandstone will weather faster because it is softer than granite.

The rate of extinction is faster.
A sedimentray rock composed of what would weather at a faster rate?
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.

Is limestone renewable resource?
Not really. The growth rate for limestone is measured in geological ages.
What is the Crystal size of lava?
When the magma reaches the surface, it is called lava. The rate at which the magma cools determines the kind of igneous rocks that are formed. Faster cooling surface lava creates rock that is fine grained or aphanitic. The rapid cooling doesn't allow large crystals to form. The slower cooling that takes place underground allows larger crystal formation. Granite is an example of this type of rock formation.
