What else can I help you with?
How does igneous rock changes into sedimentery rock?
By weathering either by physical or chemical weathering.
What kind of weathering is a cracked rock?
It is water weathering
What agent of weathering can affect a rock both chemically and mechanically?
Hail. when it melts, water can damage the rock.
How are machanical and chemical weathering different?
Mechanical weathering is a process which physically changes the appearance of a rock or structure. Chemical weathering is a process which changes the chemical composition of a rock or structure.
What kind of changes does a rock go thorugh over many years?
it just goes down because of weathering
What is the process that changes the characteristics of a rock?
The process that changes the characteristics of a rock is called metamorphism. This involves changes in temperature, pressure, and the presence of chemically active fluids, which can alter the mineral composition and texture of the rock. Metamorphism typically occurs deep within the Earth's crust.
What is a type of weathering that changes rock into one or more substances?
Chemical weathering
What kind of weathering changes the composition of a rock?
Chemical weathering changes the composition of a rock by breaking down minerals through chemical reactions with water, oxygen, acids, or other substances. This process can alter the rock's mineral composition, leading to the formation of new minerals or the dissolution of certain minerals.
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
Water is the substance that has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock. Water can seep into cracks in rock, freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Water can also chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to chemical weathering.
What kind of weathering causes mineral composition of rock to change?
Chemical weathering
What is the word used to describe how water changes the shape of rock?
Probably weathering and/or erosion.
What type of weathering is the process that breaks down rock through chemical changes?
Chemical Weathering
