Why are there different sized particles in sediementary rock?
Different sized particles in sedimentary rock are a result of the varying energy levels during deposition. For example, fast-moving water can carry larger particles, while slower-moving water can only transport smaller particles. As the sediment settles, the larger particles will settle out first, followed by the smaller particles, leading to layers of different sizes in the rock.
What particles are in rock?
Rock particles.
What are planets made up of?
Planets are made up of many different particles. Such as iron, rock, metal, lighter rock elements.
What are small particles of rock carried away by?
Small particles of rock can be carried away by erosion processes such as wind, water, or ice. These particles can be transported and deposited in different locations, shaping the landscape over time.
Why are there different color sands?
Sand is made up of crushed rock and sea-shells. The colour of the sand depends on what type of rock particles are in it.
Which rock is formed when particles stick together?
The rock formed when particles stick together is called Sedimentary Rock. The type of this rock depends on the composition and texture of the particles sticking together.
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 is it difficult to determine the absolute age of a rock?
It is difficult to determine the absolute age of a sedimentary rock because sedimentary rocks are made up of diverse particles that are all different ages. As a result radioactive dating can only determine the age of the particles, not the whole rock.
What is sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles?
Sandblasting of rock by wind-blown particles is referred to as abrasion. It is the process of scraping or wearing away of rock particles.
What are rock particles made of?
Sedimentary rock
What are the different materials that make up soil?
rock particles, minerals, decayed organic matirial, air, and water
What causes soil and rock particles to rise?
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
