What happens to a rock when exposed to chemical weathering?
its going to brake
What happens when a rock is exposed to a chemical?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
Which relative concentrations of elements are found in felsic rock?
A high concentration of aluminum, and a low concentration on iron.
Which forms when exposed to extreme temperatures pressure?
The type of rock formed when exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure is metamorphic rock.
Is an igneous rock a element?
No Igneous rock is consistently a compound - a mixture of elements. Although there are variations in composition, igneous rock is usually made up of roughly half oxygen, roughly one quarter silicon, and lesser, but significant, quantities of aluminum, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium., with a sprinkling of other elements.
What occurs when rock is exposed to oxygen elements in the air?
oxidation
What occurs when rock exposed to oxygen elements in the air?
oxidation
What happens to the rate at which a rock will weather when it is broken up and why?
The rate of decomposition of the rock will increase when it is broken up because there is more surface area exposed to the elements weather) that can erode the surfaces.
What happens to rock when it is exposed to very high temperature?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.

Are oxygen and silicon the most common rock forming elements?
Yes.
What happens to the surface area of rock as it breaks apart?
Fracturing increases the surface area of a rock exposed to weathering.
What happens when a rock is exposed to a chemical?
Rock exposed to very high temperature and pressure will soften or melt.
What rocks are elements?
The major rock forming elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Many other metallic and non-metallic elements are also found in rocks. Depends on the rock.
What two elements can be processed from material on the moon.?
Both hydrogen and oxygen can be processed from Moon rock
How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rock and minerals?
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
What happens to rock when the layers get pushed down and are exposed to high pressure and heat?
They melt. Coal turns to diamond.
