If new rocks are always forming why is the Earth not getting bigger?
The new rocks don't form from nothing. They form either from material from older rocks that were broken down, or magma that originates inside Earth. As magma rises and erupts as lava from volcanoes the crust will sink down slightly, filling in the space left behind. New oceanic crust is formed as lava erupts at mid-ocean ridges, but at the same time old oceanic crust slides down into the mantle at subduction zones.

How is erosion part of the formation of sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rocks are, by definition, rocks that are composed of layers of sediments. Sediments are particles of rock and other materials. So if you have a rock that's being weathered and eroded, it's getting broken down and carried by water and wind. Eventually the rock will be broken down so much that what's left will be sediments. These sediments will pile on top of each other, compacting under the pressure from higher layers and creating a sedimentary rock.
What protein helps break down food into energy?
Enzymes are proteins that can break down food into energy: lipase breaks down fats amylase breaks down carbohydrates protease breaks down proteins. When carbs are broken down glucose is left. Then: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water This is respiration. in this reaction, Adenasine triphosphate is broken down to adenasine diphospate, realeasing energy that enables us to do things. Hope that helps

Are rocks made from sand?
it depends what type of rock you have really, if you have a rock with crystals in it wont have sand in, if you have a pourous rock it wont have sand in either, but if you have a rock with grains you may find sand in the rock! Answered by a 12 year old lolz +++ Pretty much right - well done! You do have certain types of rocks ('sedimentary rocks') with sand in them, formed from earlier deposits of sand; but the sand itself is grains of hard minerals remaining from harder rocks that have been eroded away. So the rock with crystals does not have sand in it, but when weathering breaks that rock down, the crystals are left as grains of sand.
