What is the force that moves rocks and other materials?
magnets
How does weathered material move?
It moves by different rocks and soils are carried from the water and is buried under bigger holes and rocks.
How does water moves rocks?
The force of moving water alone can wear away particles of rock.
What is the raw material in which sedimentary rocks are formed?
weathered remains of other rocks
Where does all the force come from that squeezes sediments together to form sedimentary rocks?
The force is created by the self weight of the overlying material.
What are sedimentary rocks formed by?
When older rocks, plants, and other loose material get pressed or cemented together
What is a parent mineral?
the material which smaller rocks and other minerals come from.
How do the rocks take such interesting shapes?
This is caused by erosion.Erosion is a gravity driven process that moves solids (sediment, soil, rock and other particles) in the natural environment or their source and deposits them elsewhere. It usually occurs due to transport by wind, water, or ice; by down-slope creep of soil and other material under the force of gravity; or by living organisms, such as burrowing animals, in the case of bioerosion.
What are small pieces of material that come from rocks or other living things?
It is Aluminium.
How are rocks related to earth science?
Because rocks are formed deep in the Earth, and sometimes by compressed sand other sedimentary material.
What are veins in rocks?
A vein in a rock is some other material than the surrounding rock.
The rock cycle indicates that each type of rock can?
It can provide materials to make other rocks, also form other rocks and be changed by the force of the earth
