What process do rocks go through?
the 4 processes rocks go through are erosion, weathering, uplift, and deposition
Does chemical weathering change the chemicals in rocks?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
What are two processes that results in rocks being broken down into smaller pieces?
chemical and physical weathering
Does mechanical weathering change a rocks chemicals?
No, not at all. Chemical weathering changes the molecular composition of minerals, but mechanical weathering only changes its shape or outward appearance.
How do biochemical sedimentary rocks form?
Chemical sedimentary rocks form from solutions (water with something in it).
What processes involved in the formation of sedimentry rocks?
Sedimentory rocks form in several stages, which are: weathering, errosion, sedimentation, cementation and at the end lithification.
How do chemicals contribute to weathering?
Chemicals react with rocks and minerals or dissolve rocks and minerals.
What are the major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
What are the processes that break down rocks?
Weathering
What two geological processes are involved in changing an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
The two geological processes involved in changing an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock are weathering and erosion. Weathering is the process of decomposing rocks, while erosion refers to the process of wearing away the surface of rocks by the action of water, glaciers and winds.
How does weathering releases phosphate from rock?
Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate rocks to break down and release phosphate into soil. Acid precipitation and the chemicals released by lichen can cause the chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes like wind, rain, and freezing releases particles of rock and phosphate into the soil.

What evidence is there that rocks dissolve?
weathering is the best evidence.all rocks break down when exposed to weathering processes such as erosion
Are all rocks sharp?
== == No, some rocks are quite dull from weathering processes.
What processes most directly helps soil from rocks?
weathering
What is weathering is the surface processes that work to break down?
rocks
What are two processes that can break rocks apart?
freeze-thaw weathering and onion skin weathering.
