No. Weathering and erosion can change them and they can of course get damaged and crack. If they are in the sea, that can affect them. It can be a long and slow process, but rocks do change.
What large objects did astronauts have to avoid on the Moon's surface which could have damaged the lander?
They could have been damaged by hitting rocks. They could also have been damaged if the landed on a place where one of the legs of the module went into a hole. So it was important for them to find a flat clear area to land.
What does a tornado do to a beach?
Not much to the beach itself. Some sand and rocks may be lifted into the air and structres along the beach may be damaged or destroyed.
Which of the Earth's spheres would have the greatest impact on the others if it were catastrophically damaged?
The atmosphere should have the greatest impact on the other Earth spheres if the atmosphere were catastrophically damaged. If the atmosphere turned poisonous or something, most living organisms will die. So, this damaged air will affect the biosphere. So, with the biosphere damaged from the atmosphere, it will affect the lithosphere. The affected lithosphere would obviously ruin the rocks and minerals on the Earth. With both lithosphere and atmosphere damaged, the hydrosphere would become damaged also because of the poisonous air and a non-healthy Earth.
Which rocks is the most damaged by freezing sedimentary igneous or metamorphic?
Tends to be sedimentary rocks; a lot of sedimentary rock is weak and water can easily seep through cracks or be absorbed if permeable. The water contained freezes, expanding the cracks or pressure within the rock, breaking it.
How has the starfish adapted to its environment?
Beacuase the cushion starfish has 1000's of little suckers underneath, they stick to the rocks and they are so strong that the waves can't pull them off the rocks, but if we come along and rip it off the rocks, that damaged the cushion starfish.
How much moon rock did the astronauts bring back?
America, 840 lbs. The Russians brought back less than would fill a Coke can, and an additional 20 lbs. of Moon rock (severely damaged by Earth's atmosphere) was found on the ice in Antarctica, long after Apollo. In fact, it was only by comparison with the Apollo rocks that these scorched and melted rocks, damaged by Earth's atmosphere, the heat of entry, and the water in Earth's environment, were determined to be of lunar origin.
Why does Nelson Mandela have bad eyesight?
He worked for years in a hard labor camp, breaking limestone into rocks. The limestone was white and reflected the sun's glare. Over years, this severely and permanently damaged his eyes.
Can you poop rocks?
If they're sufficiently small, it is probably possible (though I strongly recommend not attempting it, regardless - odds are high enough that something will get damaged as it goes through that it's a bad idea to risk it).
Is there a difference between 'damaged' and 'partially damaged'?
No. Something is either damaged or it isn't.
