What changes a rock's composition?
Chemical Changes
What changes the mineral composition of rock?
Water and air
How does the composition of magma affect the temperature at which it solidifies?
Magma consists of molten rocks and metals. The composition can vary based on presence of water, metals with different melting points, and such.
What is the process that changes the characteristics of a rock?
Weathering and erosion would alter the shape of a rock, as would the application of stress possibly combined with high(er) temperature conditions.
What is one product of chemical weathering?
the product of weathering issand clay and rock fragments
What changes a rock's composition?

What takes place when the composition of the rock changes?
it undergoes transformation into another rock.
Takes place when the composition of the rock changes?
it undergoes transformation into another rock.
How does the composition of the magma effect the temperature at which it solidifies?
When fluids such as water combine with rock, the composition of the rock changes, which lowers the melting point of the rock enough to melt it.

When do ores form in the process of contact metamorphism?
When magma changes the composition of existing rock.
When the chemical composition of rock changes what has occurred?
Chemical change not a physical. A CHEMICAL CHANGE
How are machanical and chemical weathering different?
Mechanical weathering is a process which physically changes the appearance of a rock or structure. Chemical weathering is a process which changes the chemical composition of a rock or structure.
Is moss physical or chemical weathering?
chemical. it changes the actual composition of the rock. :)
