What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
Explain how rock and mountains break apart?
Rocks and mountains break apart due to erosion or weathering. The rocks and mountains would break down into smaller and smaller pieces and fall away.
What occurs during the weathering process?
There are 2 main processes of weathering, mechanical weathering and chemical weathering. In both processes the rocks are broken down. In the mechanical weathering process the rocks are simply made smaller. they are the same composition, just smaller pieces. In the process of chemical weathering the minerals in the rocks undergo a chemical change, they break down. This break down of minerals make them easier to erode. But, erosion is a different question.
Is weathering the process by which rocks on or near earths surface break down and change?
The change undergone is physical only. The definition of weathering is the wearing away of rocks in situ. Weathering causes the rocks to "break down", but mostly not to chemically change (the exception being limestone in acid rain).
What is michanical weathering?
the process by which rocks break down into smaller pieces by physical means
What process can break rocks apart?
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
Does physical weathering break rocks apart?
Yes.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
What are two processes that can break rocks apart?
freeze-thaw weathering and onion skin weathering.
What are the differences between mechanical weathering and biological weathering?
biological weathering is when plants grow inside of a rock and break it apart, mechanical weathering is when rocks are broken apart by a force
Explain how rock and mountains break apart?
Rocks and mountains break apart due to erosion or weathering. The rocks and mountains would break down into smaller and smaller pieces and fall away.
When plants grow in rocks?
weathering could occur and the rock would break apart.
How does denudation affects rocks?
This is collective process of weathering and erosion that break and wear down rocks.
