What is the study of earths surface and how people use it?
Others study the impact of human activity on Earth's environment, and design methods to protect the planet. Some use their knowledge about Earth processes such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes to plan communities that will not expose people to these dangerous events.
What involves removing rock and soil from earths surface to expose materials to be minded?
That's a funny question. Did you mean "mined" or "minded"? If you meant mined, it's called strip mining. Funny name, huh? If you meant minded, no idea! Hope it helps!
A mining process in which rock is stripped away to expose mineral deposits near the surface is?
Strip, surface or open cast mining.
What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?
Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.
3 ways to increase the rate of solvation?
1. Stir or shake the solution 2. Expose more surface by crushing a solid solute. 3. Warm the solution.
What two names for the process by which soil and rock are stripped from the Earths surface to expose underlying coal?
Surface mining and Strip mining :)

What involves moving rocks and soil from the earths surface to expose materials to be mined?
This is called removing overburden, and usually requires heavy machinery; eg: to access coal seams, sometimes entire mountain tops are removed.

What happen when we boil water and expose the steam to a cold surface?
When we boil water and expose the steam (water vapor) to a cold surface, it will condense into tiny drops of water on the cold surface. If you can see the 'steam'rising above the water, it has already condensed into tiny droplets of water in the cool air.

Why cut stem of carnation at angle?
To expose more of the cut surface to the water to increase the drawing power
Do rocks always remain the same?
No. The rocks are constantly expose a geodynamic processes that after thousands or years finally result in the formation of others rock with different characteristics. The processes that affect a rock depend in the kind of rock and the place in the earth structure it is located. But rock in the earth surface are expose to weathering that can be produce by physical or chemical factors. The final result of the weathering is the fragmentation of the rock in particles and transportation of these particles by wind or water to a different place. In this different place the particles will participated in the formation of new rocks. This is the simple explanation of formation cycle of sedimentary rocks.
Why will a rock weather more rapidly if it is broken into smaller particles?
breaking it up will expose more surface area, which is where weathering occurs.
