Is metamorphic rock soft or hard?
There are types of igneous rocks that are hard (eg granite) and others that are soft (eg volcanic ash). There are types of metamorphic rocks that are hard (eg gneiss) and others that are soft (eg marble). Thus "hardness" is not a characteristic that can be used to distinguish between the two.
How can one identify apatite rocks?
There are many different types of minerals and rocks and they are sometimes hard to distinguish one from another. Apatite rocks are usually transparent green.
What is solid rocks?
Solid rocks are compacted and hard materials composed of minerals and other substances. They are formed through the process of lithification, which involves the compaction and cementation of loose sediments or the recrystallization of existing rocks. Solid rocks make up the majority of the Earth's crust and can be classified into three main types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

What kind of weather can break up rocks?

Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.
Name the three types of rocks?

Weathering is when it rains and has a vary amount of wind and different types of weather. Erosion is when he rocks deform to different shapes. So it has a HUGE Impact because it changes the look of the rock.
How do you break a marble?
Water and freezing/cold weather can make rocks break. The water makes the rocks break when it goes into the rock cracks. When the weather gets cold/freezing the water expands and the rock breaks. Or with a really good hammer. LOL:P
