What rock type are most common at earths surface?
Sedimentary Rocks. 75% of rocks exposed to the surface are sedimentary. Basalt is the most common type of rock and it is igneous.
What is the most abundant in earth 's crust?
The majority of Earth's surface is covered in a veneer of sedimentary rock, making them the most visible surface rock.
How a rocks surface looks and feels is the rocks what?
Texture is the word used to describe a rock's constituent mineral size and arrangement, visible on a freshly fractured surface. Because a rock's surface can be weathered to a smooth or polished surface, the way it feels is not usually included in a description of texture.
How does volcanic activity affect the formation of volcanic rock?
It depends where the rock was formed. If it was formed inside the earth, it would be rough. If it was formed on the surface, it would be smoother than the rock formed inside the earth.
What is the primary process involved in the formation of magma at a rift?
Decompression melting of extremely hot mantle rock as it rises toward the surface.
What surface processes produce surface formation?
rock
What is the difference between a aquifer and a watershed?
AQUIFER-Rock formation/its derivatives where ground water occurs and move but invisible WATERSHED-it is a land surface unit where we alllive and surface water occurs& is visible

What is the major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes?
rock cools quickly from melted rockRock cools quickly from melted rock.
What is the formation?
it is a sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched between two layers of impermeable rock and exposed at the surface.

What is Artesian formation?
it is a sloping layer of permeable rock sandwiched between two layers of impermeable rock and exposed at the surface.

Is a rock with visible layers and no minerals likely to have formed lava hardening on Earth's surface?
yes

When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering they eventually become which rock?
The sediments from the weathering could become part of a sedimentary rock formation.
