Part one
Review:
If the sentence is true, write true. If it is false write false, replace the underlined word or words to make it true
1. Rocks are made of minerals: true
2. Different minerals have the same properties: different
3. Rocks can be broken down into glass: sediment
What else can I help you with?
What are the forces that break rocks?
The main forces that break rocks are weathering, which includes mechanical, chemical, and biological processes. Mechanical weathering involves physical forces like temperature changes and frost action breaking down rocks. Chemical weathering occurs when rock minerals react with water and air, leading to their breakdown. Biological weathering involves living organisms like plants and animals contributing to rock breakdown through physical and chemical processes.
What helps to break food down chemical or mechanical?
Chemical
What involves ways that rocks break down without changes to what?
Weathering involves ways that rocks break down without changes to their chemical state. Weathering involves mechanical forces e.g. wind and rainfall rather than chemical energy in disintegration or rocks.
Is the food in your small intestine experiencing a chemical or mechanical break down?
chemical break down
Does both chemical and mechanical digestion break down food into smaller units?
Yes, both chemical and mechanical digestion break down food into smaller units.
The mechanical and chemical processes that break down rock are together known as?
all the mechanical and chemical that breaks down rock
What is a cause of mechanical weathering A physical forces B rainwater C natural acids D sunlight?
A. Physical forces such as frost action, root wedging, and abrasion are causes of mechanical weathering. These forces break down rocks into smaller pieces by physically altering their structure without changing their chemical composition.
What involves ways that rocks break down without changes to?
Weathering involves ways that rocks break down without changes to their chemical state. Weathering involves mechanical forces e.g. wind and rainfall rather than chemical energy in disintegration or rocks.
A Comparison of mechanical digestion and chemical digestion?
chemical digestion is breaking down with saliva, and mechanical digestion is chewing...(break down with chew!):):P
Is flakes of bricks chemical or mechanical?
Flakes of bricks primarily result from mechanical processes rather than chemical ones. This occurs when bricks are subjected to stress, wear, or impact, causing them to chip or break apart. While chemical weathering can affect bricks over time, the formation of flakes is typically associated with physical forces.
How do humans break down rocks?
Humans break down rocks through mechanical and chemical weathering processes. Mechanical weathering involves physical forces like wind, water, and ice breaking down rocks into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering involves chemical reactions that break down the minerals in rocks, often aided by factors like water, acids, or living organisms. Over time, these weathering processes contribute to the breakdown and erosion of rocks into soil.
One of the factors not involved in chemical weathering is?
One of the factors not involved in chemical weathering is mechanical force or physical breakdown of rocks. Chemical weathering is driven by processes such as dissolution, oxidation, and hydrolysis, which break down rocks through chemical reactions rather than physical forces.
