What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
Rock that is formed by the process of lithification is called?
sedimentary rocks
What is it called when rocks are moved from their original location?
It is the process of erosion.
What are rocks called that formed from volcanic process?
Those would be igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks.
When the corners of rocks begin rounding process is called?
spheroidal weathering
What is oxygen called when it is combined with rocks and minerals?
It is called oxidation when rocks and minerals are combined with oxygen. It is chemical weathering.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
The process of weathering that occurs when rocks and minerals react chemically with water and atmospheric gases is?
Hydration
How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rocks and minerals?
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
What is the process in which rocks first bend and then break?
The process is called weathering because the changes in the weather break the rocks.
What cause rocks to change into different rocks?
rocks change form in a process called the rock cycle
How do rocks react to water?
There is no react reaction to simple contact with ice. But since water expands when it freezes, any water that freezes in a crack will force that crack to become bigger and will slowly break the rock apart in a process called frost wedging.
The process in which rocks change shape is called?
Igneous rocks are formed from molten lava being cooled down. Metamorphic rocks start as igneous rocks and change form. Sedimentary rocks form from layers in the earths crust.
Changed rocks are called?
Changed rocks are called metamorphic. Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, through the use of heat and pressure.Metamorphic rocks
What is the process called when rocks change to another type?
The process is referred to as metamorphism.
The process by which rocks are formed is called?
rock cycle
