How does volcanic activity affect the formation of volcanic rock?
It depends where the rock was formed. If it was formed inside the earth, it would be rough. If it was formed on the surface, it would be smoother than the rock formed inside the earth.
Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
What is called the process that splits rock through freezing and thawing is called?
Freeze Thaw is one of the two physical weathering. Freeze thaw is a process were the water gets into the gaps or cracks of the rock. Over the night the Water freezes and then expands, the result the rock eventually breaks.
Is abrasion an example of the surface of a rock becomes smoother as sand blows past it?
Yes, because abrasion is the grinding away of rock by other rock or sand particles. Water also causes abrasion when it carries sand and rocks that scrape against other rock.

Molten rock below ground is called magma. Once the molten rock gets to the surface it is called lava.
The surface of a rock becomes smoother as sand blows past it what is this an example of?
Abrasion
Is fine grained sedimentary rock smooth?
Yes. Fine grained means the grains in the rock are very small. The smaller the grains, the smoother the rock.
Molten rock at the surface is?
When you have a volcano the molten rock is called Magma when it is inside the volcano but when it gets out of the volcano it changes name to Lava.
How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted? A sandblasted rock would be smoother in shape and less jagged.
What process changes a rock into a sedimentary rock?
it gets really hot and gets washed through the sea and gets all put together and creates the rock
What is an example of mechanical wheathering?
an example of mechanical weathering is called ice wedging. it is when water gets into a small crack in rock then freeze and expand breaking the rock.
How does volcanic activity affect the formation of volcanic rock?
It depends where the rock was formed. If it was formed inside the earth, it would be rough. If it was formed on the surface, it would be smoother than the rock formed inside the earth.
What is melted rock?
Melted rock is that hasn't surfaced is "Magma".If the melted rock already has surfaced, it is called "Lava".
