What wears away more easily sedimentary rocks or igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rocks generally wear away more easily than igneous rocks due to their composition and structure. They are often made up of softer minerals and have a layered, less cohesive structure, making them more susceptible to erosion and weathering. In contrast, igneous rocks, formed from cooled magma or lava, tend to be denser and harder, providing them with greater resistance to wear. Thus, sedimentary rocks typically erode at a faster rate than igneous rocks.
Why do igneous rocks stick up above the ground?
Igneous rocks can stick up above the ground due to processes like uplift and erosion. Uplift can lift rocks from beneath the surface to create mountains or hills, while erosion gradually wears away softer rocks to expose harder, more resistant igneous rocks at the surface.
What igneous rock is at the earths surface that is weathered and wears away?
Extrusive (volcanic) and exposed plutonic igneous rock.
What effect does wind have on metamorphic rocks?
wears them away
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
How does a seacave form?
When water wears away rocks underwater
What rock forms when exposed igneous rock wears away into grains of sand?
sedimentary rock
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
What problems can happen with acid rain?
It wears away at rocks and monuements. :(
Are igneous rocks made up of igneous rocks?
Sedimentary rock can be made up partially of igneous clasts, but igneous rock is igneous rock.
Why can intrusive igneous igneous rocks be left behind when surrounding rocks are worn away?
because it is made by heat and intence crushing and dimonds and marble are both made this way.
