The loose weathered material on earths surface in which plants can grow is?
soil
Are smaller particles weathered more rapidly than larger particles?
Yes, because smaller particles are more exposed to air (large surface area).
Soil?
Soil is an accumulation of loose, weathered material covering much of Earth's surface.
Is the loose coveing of weathered rock particles and decaying organic matter overlying the bedrock of Earth's surface?
remains of plants and animals:)
What process by which weathered material are carried away?
The process by which weathered material is carried away is called erosion. This can happen through different agents such as water, wind, ice, or gravity. Erosion plays a key role in shaping the Earth's surface over time.
What happens to the small particles of stone particles of stone that are weathered away from the surface of a gravestone?
The small particles of stone that are weathered away from the surface of a gravestone are typically carried away by wind, water, or gravity. They may be dispersed in the surrounding environment, such as into nearby soil, water bodies, or transported downstream. Over time, these particles may undergo erosion and become part of sedimentary deposits or contribute to the formation of new geological formations.
Is weathered intrusive or extrusive?
Neither, at the surface all rocks become weathered.
What do you call the loose on the material on the earth's surface where plants grow?
The answer is Soil
Which water source contains more inorganic material surface water or ground water?
Surface Water
How do you rocks get weathered?
We get weathered by being on or near the surface and exposed to environments different than we were formed in.
Soil profile?
A soil profile is a vertical section of soil that ranges from the surface to the bedrock. Each layer of a soil profile is referred to as a soil horizon.Horizon O is the top layer, where organic material is presentHorizon A is top soilHorizon B is subsoilHorizon C contains weathered rock.
What are two ways the earth breaks down?
earthquake earthquake Weathering and Erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of the earth's surface, and erosion is the moving of weathered material.
