What are the bands of different colored or structured materials in some sedimentary rocks called?
The different bands in sedimentary formations are called strata.
How is uplift different to weathering?
Weatheing is where rocks and materials are broken down by the weather an uplifting is literally lifting up of land!
What minerals form from melted materials?
ALL minerals crystallise from molten materials. Magma consists of minerals. It is easy to believe that all magma is the same, but magmas are as different as rocks.
What materials form Metamorphic Rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed from materials of pre-existing rocks of any form due to mainly increase in temperature, pressure and stress.
What is molten materials?
A hot liquid ,such as lava, that is formed from the melting of different types of rock.
Why are rocks colorful?
Because they are made of different materials
The process which rocks materials are brokendown bynthe action of physical or chemial process is called what?
weathering
. How is physical weathering different from chemical weathering?
Physical weathering is due to: rocks hitting other rocks causing them to break up from the action of frost and ice the action of wind or waves or running water the action of plants. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock and is due to: water dissolving minerals in the rock oxidation of metals in the rock
What are four different types of chemical weathering?
The four different types of chemical weathering are hydration, oxidation, carbonic acid action and hydrolysis. Chemical weathering is a chemical reaction that erodes certain things such as building materials and rocks.
Why do different kinds of soil look and feel different?
They are could consist of different materials, like clay, sand, or rocks.
Which process changes metamorphic rocks into sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion of the weather materials, their transport and deposition as new sediments.
Can temperatures break down rocks?
Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
What materials do you get from the Earth?
it is the materials on the periodic table and rocks such as ignous rocks sedimentry and metamorphic rocks and many many more!
What are the bands of different colored or structured materials in some sedimentary rocks called?
The different bands in sedimentary formations are called strata.
Why are radioactive materials used to date rocks rocks?
Radioactive materials decay at predictable rates
What are intermediate materials in a rock cycle?
In the Rock Cycle : The Rocks are- Sedimentary Rocks, Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks. The Intermediate Materials are- Sediments and Magma
List of types of rocks?
The list of the 3 types of rocks: 1. Igneous Rocks - These rocks form from magma trapped below the earth's surface and from lava that cooled on the earth's surface. 2. Sedimentary Rocks - These rocks form from loose materials such as fragments of rocks, plant and animal remains, and mineral grains that have been moved from one place and deposited in another place usually through the action of water. 3. Metamorphic Rocks - These rocks formed from igneous, sedimentary and other metamorphic rocks as a result of heat, pressure and chemical action.
