How are rocks and minarals different?
Rocks are composed of minerals. Minerals are inorganic chemical solids.
Between the lithosphere and asthenosphere Earth's rocks change from?
Tough, brittle solids to weak, putty-like solids
Why are rocks hard?
Rocks are hard because the atoms comprising the minerals which are present in rocks have formed a latticework which make them solid and very stiff. Solid, stiff objects require a significant load applied over a small area to undergo deformation.
What categories for solids?
Rocks can be qualified for a solid. So can ice. Objects that are hard can usually be a solid.
Why is rock a solid and lava a liquid?
Rocks are solid objects therefore they are solids. Lava is rock that has been melted in to a liquid therefore makeing lava a liquid.
Are rocks ever liquid or gas?

What part of the earth is compose of rocks and solids?

What does rocks do when they get cold?
Rocks are solids. Hence when cooled, they contract. However, this contraction is very minimal due to their solid nature.
What is in rocks?
Rocks are composed of minerals which are naturally occurring solids, with a specific chemical formula, are inorganic, and have a crystalline structure. Some rocks are also of organic origin, namely coal and many types of limestone.
Most solids are what?
As a element cools to a certain point (for water it is 32) the molecules become immobile and closer together.
Why are rocks hard?
Rocks are hard because the atoms comprising the minerals which are present in rocks have formed a latticework which make them solid and very stiff. Solid, stiff objects require a significant load applied over a small area to undergo deformation.
Examples of 3 states of matter?
Solids-Rocks,Wood,Plastics............... Liquids-Water Gases-CO2.O2..................................
What does a rocky surfice mean?
it means that the surface is solids and is comprised of separate rocks that make the surface have a certain texture to it
What has 3 liquids floating on top of each other and has three solids in it?
3 liquids- oil, water, and cleaning stuff can float on top of each other 3 solids- foil, paper, rocks
What are rocks and minerals?
Minerals are inorganic naturally occurring solids with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure. Rocks are composed of minerals.
