What is protons neutrons and electrons called?
Subatomic particles or, when they all come together, an atom.
What are melted rocks called and where do they come from?
Magma is melted rock that is found beneath the surface of the earth.It is called magma
Where do minerals from cementation of igneous rocks come from?
during cementation, water deposits minerals that bind sediment particles together, which earth spheres are involved in this process?
How is a regular sedimentary rock formed?
The rocks that form by physical processes are those that come from the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. After the older rocks are eroded, transporting agents such as water, wind, or ice move the particles. Rocks that form from particles being physically transported are called clastic rocksRocks that form by physical processes are those that come from the breakdown of pre-existing rocks..Animals and/or plants make up some rocks. These are called biogenic sedimentary rocksRocks that are made from animals and/or plants.. Think about a pile of shells that you might find on a beach. If these shells became stuck together, they would be a sedimentary rock formed from animals.Crystals that crystallize out of solution form chemical sedimentary rocksRocks made from crystals that grow out of a solution.. Think about a pond of really salty water. Add a hot, dry climate to that scenario and the water goes away, but the salt (halite) stays behind.
How in metamorphic rock formed?
Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed from igneous, sedimentary and even other metamorphic rocks. Heat, pressure and chemical action can cause a rock to change into another rock. Pressure from the rocks on top of them squeezes and folds the rock. Their grains come close together and they become less porous. Heat and chemicals may cause changes in the arrangement of mineral particles or new minerals may be formed.
What rocks come from tiny particles of sand?
Sandstone.
Where are sedimentary rocks from?
Sedimentary rocks come from deposited sediment that are cemented together (usually in water) to form these types of rocks. The rocks are made out of weared-down shells, rocks, inclusions (rock particles) and sand as well as pebbles or other particles. Hope that helps.
Where does the salt come from in the Atlantic Ocean?
Salt comes from rocks. When water wears down rocks at the beach particles of sand are washed into the ocean.
What essential elements come from rocks?
dirt mud and minerals all though little particles
Where do sedimentary rocks come from above ground or underground?
Sedimentary rocks come from above ground , because sedimentary rocks form when sediment piles up and sediment is made up of loose particles of clay, silt and sand
What are the names of rocks that harden before they come out of the volcano and the name of rocks that harden after they come out of a volcano?
It is called Lava
What are melted rocks called when they come to the surface?
Lava. (When it is underground it is called magma)
What are small pieces of material that come from rocks or living things called?
They are called sediment.
What are the rocks that come out of volcanoes called?
The Rock That Comes Out Of A Volcano Is A Igneous Rock.
What is protons neutrons and electrons called?
Subatomic particles or, when they all come together, an atom.
Do rocks come from quarry?
Some rocks came from quarry, ergo not all rocks came from quarrying, rocks may came from different processes like sedimentation, there are also some rocks that came from volcanoes, these kind of rocks are called igneous rocks.
Scientists divide rocks into groups based on what?
Rocks are grouped by how they are formed. There are 3 types of rocks. Sedimentary, Metamorphic, and Igneous rock. Sedimentary rocks are made from broken down rocks, called sediment, which come from all three rocks. Metamorphic rocks come from existing rocks that are changed by heat and pressure. The Igneous rocks are formed from magma that rose up to the surface, also known as lava. When the lava cools and hardens it forms igneous rocks. That is a rock cycle.
