What cause a whirlpool?
heyy whirlpool are made by when two currents are trapped in between rocks or when two currents meet.
To what depth below Earth's surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths between 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface, temperatures and friction, along with the presence of water, could cause melting of subducting crustal material. Rising currents of mantle rock could melt from decompression at shallower depths.
Applied forces cause rocks to undergo?
Metamorphism. Rocks need to be partially plastic from heat and pressure in order to fold rather than fault.
What are some examples of rolling friction?
a ball rolling across the floor ( a flat surface) you rolling down a hill rocks rolling down hill etc. hope this helped ronkkiki
What kind waves cause particles in rocks to move at right angles to the direction of the wave?
secondary waves
Why don't faults slip continuously?
Friction between rocks on each side of the fault.
What keeps rocks in place?
Gravity and friction.
What does friction have to do with curling?
it slows down the rocks
What causes a spark when rocks are rubbed?
friction
Which type of friction keeps a mound of rocks from falling away from each other?
static friction
What are the problems with friction?
Friction can: - Slow moving objects down (air resistance, for example, is a form of friction) This can be a problem in machinery where energy is lost due to it. This is also true for the heat generated - Generate heat, think about motors overheating... It's caused by too much friction - Erode things: Weathering of rocks, statues etc. is due to friction between t the object and the environment (wind, water etc.) - Cause earthquakes: The friction at tectonic plate boundaries causes earthquakes when they suddenly slip due to a build up of pressure Hope this helps
How can you make a fire with just rocks?
you need a certain type of rock called flint and you need a stick and you rub the flint and the stick together to cause friction and that causes fire.
How does gravity and friction affect the rocks and earth on a mountain slope?
you have sex :)
What to high temperatures cause rocks to do?
High temperatures cause rocks to expand
What object can best be used as friction?
your hands or two rocks rubbed together
How does friction affect rock climbers?
Friction affects rock climbers by allowing them to effectively grasp the rocks that they are trying to climb. Without friction, the rock climbers' hands would just slip off the rocks, causing them to inevitably fall to their deaths. Thank you that is close to what I was thinking. What would be another exmaple of how friction affects rock climbers? Thank you so much.
