Getting very hot during the day, and very cold during the night, will help to crack rocks. As will rainwater seeping into minute cracks, and then expanding when turned into ice during a frosty night.

How many grams is in a Baltimore crack rock?

The weight of a Baltimore crack rock can vary, but they typically range from around 0.1 to 0.5 grams. It is essential to remember that crack cocaine is an illegal and dangerous drug with severe consequences for use and possession.


What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?

When water enters a crack in a rock and freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. The force of the ice expanding can exert stress on the surrounding rock, causing the crack to widen or the rock to break apart. Over time, repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can lead to the disintegration of the rock.


If liquid water runs into an open space within a rock like a crack?

The water can fill the crack and exert pressure on the surrounding rock walls, potentially widening the crack over time through hydraulic action and freeze-thaw cycles. This process is known as hydraulic fracturing or water-induced fracturing.


How are arch most likely form?

Arches are most likely formed through geological processes like folding of rock layers, tectonic activity, or erosion. They can also be formed by natural processes like weathering and coastal erosion.


A reddish brown rock from the Canadian shield was held in a very hot Bunsen burner flame The flame appeared emerald green what metal was most likely present in the rock?

The presence of an emerald green flame indicates that the rock likely contains copper. When copper is heated in a flame, it imparts a distinct green color.

What is most likely to make a rock crack and crumble?

Weathering processes, such as freezing and thawing, and chemical weathering from exposure to water and acids are the most likely causes for rock to crack and crumble. Over time, the expansion and contraction of these forces weaken the rock structure, leading to eventual breakage.


What part of the rock is likely to be most affected by heating and cooling?

The outer layer of the rock, known as the rock's surface or crust, is likely to be most affected by heating and cooling. This is because temperature changes can cause expansion and contraction in the outer layer, leading to stress and potentially causing the rock to crack or break.


How do you make a crack rock bigger?

chemical weathering.


How does a rock crack if its subjected to heavy frost?

Which rock is most likely to be monomineralic?

Quartz is the rock most likely to be monomineralic, as it mainly consists of the mineral quartz.


Is a igneous rock light or heavy?

inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion If a light rock is being thrown at a heavy rock the light rock would probably crack or get deflected from the heavy rock, but if a heavy rock is being thrown at a light rock the light rock would most likely shatter. A: The heavy rock has more inertia


What would happen to a rock with a crack in it if it was subjected to repeated heavy frost?

It is likely that the repeated freeze-thaw cycles would cause the crack or fracture to widen and lengthen hi.
