What kinds of rocks tend to form the cliffs?
limestone
Mafic igneous rocks tend to form?
Dark colored rocks.
Why do rocks tend to form in pairs?
cos they are in love, greason, boner boy
How are instrusive rocks different to extrusive rocks?
Intrusive rocks are igneous rocks that form when magma solidifies below the Earth's surface. They usually form by rather slow cooling, which allows time for large crystals to grow, and these large crystals tend to give them a coarse grain. Extrusive rocks are igneous rocks that form when magma solidifies above the Earth's surface. They usually form by comparatively rapid cooling, which does not allow time for large crystals to form, so they are often fine-grained or amorphous.
What kind of metals to ions form?
Metals tend to lose electrons, so they form positive ions called cations.
How would you know the difference between igneous and sedimentary and metamorphic rock?
Igneous rocks form from cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediment, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. By examining the texture, mineral composition, and sedimentary structures present in a rock sample, geologists can determine whether it is igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
What are the different rates at which rocks cool?
Rocks cool at different rates due to how they were formed if they were formed intrusively or extrusively Examples of different igneous rocks that form differently is Granite and Gabbro form the same but different from Rhyolite.
Why do some cliffs erode more than others?
Cliffs may erode at different rates due to variations in rock composition, weathering processes, and environmental factors such as exposure to wind, waves, and precipitation. Softer rocks tend to erode more quickly than harder ones, and cliffs in areas with high rainfall or frequent freeze-thaw cycles are typically more susceptible to erosion. Human activities, such as construction and mining, can also accelerate cliff erosion.
What kind of soil would develop from quartzite and sandstone?
sandstone or quartzite is very hard stone i think there is no possibility that it can form a soil....because if undergo weather cycle it only form igneous rocks which is smaller and less harder than the original properties
How temperature weather rocks?
Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered. Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered.
Why are scientists able to use rocks to be able to find out that a volcano is explosive or nonexplosive?
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
Why is it that rocks near the surface of the Earth tend to be brittle while those below tend to flow rather than break?
When a rock is subjected to increasing stress it changes its shape, size or volume. This is referred to as strain. In general, rocks near the surface of the earth behave in a brittle fashion. When they are acted upon by differential stress, they tend to fracture. Rocks that are below the surface are not subjected to the different "strains" then the rocks that are at the surface.
