Does mechanical weathering change a rock size?
Yes, over time. The rock will wear away, and with enough time, mechanical weathering will wear the rock down to sand.
How wind and rain change a mountain over time?
Wind and rain beat upon the mountain and therefore cause erosion against the rock over time.
Which agent can change both sand and rock formations over time?
its wind
What does not change the form of existing rock?
When there is no weathering. When there there are no intrusions of magma beneath rock no metamorphic rock will form. But, this is impossible as the Earth atmosphere and interior forces are so dynamic. Over time all rocks will undergo some kind of change.

What type of rock change over time?
Metamorphic rock.
How does the composition of a rock containing a radioactive element change over time?
The compositionn of a rock containing a radioactive element changes over time by: decaying and changing into another element; the amount of the radio active element goes down, but the amount of the new element goes up.
How do graves change over long periods of time?
graves change over long periods of time because of sedimentary rock.
Does mechanical weathering change a rock size?
Yes, over time. The rock will wear away, and with enough time, mechanical weathering will wear the rock down to sand.
Which agent can change oth sand and rock formations over time?
win d
What starts a change from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
It starts with the weathering of exposed igneous rock into smaller particles over a long long period of time.
What are 3 things that cause sedimentary rock to change to metamorphic rock?
Sedimentary rock is changed to metamorphic rock using: 1. High pressure 2. High heat 3. A large amount of time
What is the purpose of the Rock Cycle?
The rock cycle explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time.
How wind and rain change a mountain over time?
Wind and rain beat upon the mountain and therefore cause erosion against the rock over time.
In terms of rock cycle why do minerals and rocks change over time?
They change because of exposure to weathering, erosion, heat, pressure, and melting.
What equation do you use to find the rate of change?
Rate of change = amount of change in some period of time/amount of time for the change
How does one type of rock change to another?
It can't, unless it may become compressed and change to a harder version of the rock it was before. Also abit of acid weathering could corrode and change the rock shape and make it weaker, but this is over a long period of time.
