A rock on top of a mountain has what energy?
Potential energy. Although if the rock is pushed, moved etc. it becomes kinetic energy
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is?
Potential energy
What type of energy is stored in a rock?
Potential energy.
Do a rock sitting on top of a cliff has no energy?
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
What energy is a rock on top of a hill?
Gravitational potential energy is the type of energy stored in an object if it is raised in a gravitational field. A rock on top of a hill is a good example of this as it has a higher potential energy than a rock at the bottom of a hill.
All of the energy that drives earths rock cycle comes from?
Earths interior and the sun
All energy that drives earth's rock cycle comes from?
Earths interior and the sun
What powers earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the Earth's core which drives lithospheric plate movements, and provides a magnetosphere which allows an atmosphere to exist. english not random stuff please
What are the two primary energy sources for the rock cycle?
The heat from the centre of the Earth (fueled by nuclear fission and therefore the energy of an ancient supernova explosion) which drives tectonic convection processes.The heat from the Sun which drives the erosion processes.
What is the ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle when hot material rising in the Earth generates uplift which in turn promotes erosion?
Radioactive heat
What role does energy play in the rock cycle?
The energy comes from the sun and from the heat from Earth's interior.
What powers the earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the earth's core, via the magma drives the tectonic part of the rock cycle. This heat is derived mainly from radioactive fission of the heavy elements in the Core.Gravity drives much of the weathering part of the rock cycle. Via evaporation of water, and rain and rivers, and glaciation.Some solar radiation also energizes part of the weathering part of the rock cycle.
What provides the heat that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rock?
Earths hot interior
Which are the five cycles?
The: Rock Cycle Water Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Carbon Cycle
What is the main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rock into rock cycle?
Thermal energy -apex (:
What is the main type of energy used to help convert metamorphic rocks into igneous rock in the rock cycle?
Thermal energy -apex (:
Where is the energy source found that drives the process that form igneous and metamorphic rock?
earths interior
