What else can I help you with?
What are tests you can perform on rocks for classification purposes?
one is releasing it from a height. If it falls, you classify it as 'affected by gravity'
Do rocks have gravity?
No, rocks do not have gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, including rocks. Rocks are subject to the force of gravity, just like any other object on Earth.
What cuases rock fall?
Rocks fall because of gravity. Gravity is the force that brings things back to earth. Rocks on a slope, mountain, hill, etc. fall or roll down the hill with gravity. Also, mudslides and other things can push rocks down.
What happens when rocks fall down a cliff?
It falls and break
How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.
How does gravity break down rocks?
Gravity is not a major influence in the decomposition of a rock, unless the rock falls off of a cliff. The main process consists of water seeping into tiny cracks in the rock, then expanding as it freezes. Well, if you want to stretch it, I guess you could give gravity the credit for making the water seep into the cracks.
What keeps rocks in place?
Gravity and friction.
What pushes and pulls on rocks?
gravity Du
What unknown force has arranged the rocks?
gravity
What are three forces that can carry sediment?
Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
Can Jupiters gas affect its rings?
Jupiters' gases are confined to the planet by its massive gravity. The rocks and ice are trapped by the same gravity. The two do not interact. Some of the material in the rings falls out of orbit due to loss of forward momentum and fall into Jupiter. They are short lived and disintegrate.
Does gravity or wind quickly pulls rocks and dirt downhill in a landslide?
Gravity is the primary force that causes rocks and dirt to move downhill in a landslide. Wind can contribute to the movement of loose material, but gravity is the dominant force in causing landslides.
