What isigneous rock at the earth's surface that is weathered and wears away?
Igneous rock at the Earth's surface that is weathered and wears away is called sediment. Sediment is made up of small pieces of rock that break off and erode from the original igneous rock due to weathering processes like wind, water, and temperature changes.
What things causes a rock to erode?
Weathering, wind, rain, extreme temperatures.
How do rivers erode the landscape?
When sedimentary rocks are weathered and eroded, they turn into sediments. And after compaction and cementation of the sediments, it will turn back into sedimentary rock.
What type of sedimentary rock forms from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What type of rock is Sedimentary rock?
it is the rock where over years things erode and decompose and then harden into rock so they're different layers of rock below the surface.
How does a weathered rock look different from a rock that is not weathered?
A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.
What are examples of Weathered rock?
Some examples of weathered rock inculde the Grand Canyon and Devil's tower.
Which is stronger weathered rock or unweathered rock?
Unweathered rock.
Why do rocks erode at different rates?
Rocks erode at different rates depending on factors such as composition, hardness, and environmental conditions. Soft rocks erode more quickly than hard rocks because they are more easily weathered by elements like wind and water. Additionally, the presence of minerals in the rock can affect its susceptibility to erosion.
Rock that formed from other weathered rock is?
sedimentary
What are 4 things that erode weathered rocks?
Wind erosion, where particles are moved by the force of wind. Water erosion, as flowing water wears away rock surfaces and carries sediment downstream. Ice erosion, as glaciers and frost can break apart and transport rock fragments. Chemical erosion, where rock minerals are dissolved by acidic rainwater or other chemicals, weakening the rock.
How is weathered rock move?
Weathered rock can be moved by processes such as erosion, gravity, wind, water, and ice. These processes can transport the smaller pieces of weathered rock, known as sediment, to different locations where they can accumulate and form new geological features like sedimentary deposits or landforms.
