Why is igneous rock so resistant to weathering and erosion?
An igneous rock is resistant to weathering and erosion because is is is made from magma. And magma rocks are really tough.
Between rill erosion and gully erosion which is the most damaging?
Gully erosion is usually the result of improper outlet design for local surface and subsurface drainage systems.
Why are igneous rocks generally resistant to erosion?
They are resistant to erosion because they are more hard. They are like a piece of cement or trying to sand down the concrete floor it just wont happen.Thank You for asking wiki :)
What type of drainage pattern would you expect to find developing on rocks that have been folded and exposed by differential erosion over time?
a trellis drainage pattern
What are rocks that are resistant to erosion called?
Cap rock. Resistant cap rock will help protect softer rock below it from erosion. Any rock type that is more resistant to erosion than the rock type below it is called a cap rock. For instance, it could be basalt (igneous) overlying limestone (sedimentary), or limestone (sedimentary) over shale (also sedimentary).
Is sodium resistant to erosion?
No. Nothing is resistant to erosion.
How can you tell which rocks are the hardest when you look at a landscape from a distance?
The hardest rocks show the least effects from erosion and weathering and may cap a less resistant rock.
How does wind erosion change the landscape?
It changes the landscape by blowing over or on the landscape
Which type of rock appear to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion?
Carbonate rocks, such as limestone, tend to be the least resistant to weathering and erosion.
What mineral is very resistant to erosion?
Quartz.
Why is igneous rock so resistant to weathering and erosion?

What is a trellis drainage pattern?
A trellis drainage pattern forms when tributaries join the main river at right angles. It forms in a ridge-and-valley landscape,where rocks that have unequal resistance to erosion are folded into series of anticlines and syclines. The rivers bandon, lee and blackwater have trellis pattern. These developed when the softer limestone that occupied the anticlineswas eroded, leaving the more resistant sandstone anticlines standing out. The rivers that occupy many glaciated valleys, including the gap of dunloe, also have trellis pattern.
