What is it called when softer rock weathers away and leaves harder rocks behind
Yes and no. Rock can be pretty soft.
A diamond
A rock that is white and harder than chalk is likely to be marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed from limestone under high pressure and heat, making it harder and more durable than chalk, which is a soft sedimentary rock.
The harder rock is diamond
The rocks are underground so intrusive rocks are under pressure so its harder.
Pedestal rocks are usually formed in desert, when wind erosion wears away softer rock under-laying a harder rock. The harder rock is eroded at a slower rate than the softer rock.
When softer rock erodes faster than harder rock, it creates a landscape characterized by pronounced features such as cliffs or ledges, where the harder rock remains elevated compared to the surrounding terrain. This differential erosion can lead to the formation of valleys or depressions in the softer rock, while the harder rock may stand out as ridges or plateaus. Over time, this process contributes to the shaping of the topography, influencing drainage patterns and ecosystems in the area.
If rock A cuts across rock B, it indicates that rock A is harder than rock B. Harder rocks are able to cut across softer rocks, indicating the relative hardness of the two rock types.
Intrusive rock cools slowly beneath the Earth's surface, allowing larger mineral crystals to form, making the rock harder. Extrusive rock cools quickly on the Earth's surface, leading to smaller crystals and a softer composition.
