What else can I help you with?
What is a mixture of wheathered rock organic matter air and water?
The mixture you are describing is called soil. Soil is composed of weathered rock particles, organic matter from plant and animal remains, air, and water. It is a crucial component for supporting plant growth and sustaining ecosystem functions.
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
Does Massachusetts soil come from volcanic rock?
No. It comes from glacial till.
What odorless tasteless invisible gas that comes from uranium in rock and soil?
Radon.
What material is primarily a mixture of weathered rock and organic material?
soil
How does parent rock affect soil?
Soil comes from parent rock. Due to weathering the action of plant roots etc the parent rock is broken up and over many years gets incorporated into the soil. So the composition of the parent rock will affect the soil that develops over it. The soil could be lacking in certain minerals due to the parent rock. The soil could be acidic or basic due to the parent rock. But there is more to soil composition than just the parent rock.
Are rock and soil elements?
No. Rock and soil are mixtures.

What are two ways to tell that a rock has been wheathered?
Two ways to tell that a rock has been weathered are a change in color or texture, and the presence of fractures or cracks due to expansion and contraction caused by weathering processes. Additionally, the flaking or crumbling of the rock's surface may indicate weathering.
What three elements are likely to be found in a sample of soil and rocks?
soil- Clayey soil, sandy soil, and loamy soil rock-metamorphic rock, instrusive/extrusive rock, sediments
What comes after subsoil?
After subsoil comes the parent material, which is the bedrock or unconsolidated material that lies beneath the subsoil. The parent material is the layer from which the soil is derived through weathering and other geological processes.
What will happen if a rock is eroded in a place where there is no soil?
You know how the soil grows plants like in the rock but if there is no soil then the plant won't grow in the rock.
