In the rock cycle water and weather wear away rock by the process of?
Weathering.
How does mechanical weathering affect the rate of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is when chemicals such as chemicals excreted from plants wear away at the earth's surface. Mechanical weathering is when natural forces wear away at the earth's surface such as rock.
How and why is the rock cycle called a cycle?
a rock cycle is known as a " rock cycle " because the wheel of a bicycle spins at a total 360 degrees and therefore never has an interfierence to when it comes to an end. SO the word cycle was given to a rock cycle because the prosedure never ends.
What stages of the rock cycle are apparent in the landscape of Death Valley?
In Death Valley, stages of the rock cycle that are apparent are stages in which the rock is a rock. once it becomes sand, it is part of the sandusky cycle.
What property of rock remains unchanged by mechanical weathering?
Technically, they do remain unchanged. But as physical weathering of rocks progresses, it can expose the minerals in the cracks to the elements resulting in the disintegration of the rock. The mineral makeup of the rock will then change to agree with the surrounding environment.
Why is water important in the rock cycle?
Water is extremely important in the rock cycle. This is because water is the main proponent behind erosion and weathering, which both helps in rock formation.
How are weathering erosion and deposition related to the rock cycle?
by weathering
In the rock cycle water and weather wear away rock by the process of?
Weathering.
What combination of process can transform a metormorphic rock to sediments?
Exposure, weathering, and erosion can transform a metamorphic rock into sediments.
What process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
What step of the rock cycle creates the sediment from which sedimentary rock is formed?
Weathering and erosion.
What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
How can humans effect the rock cycle?
by being part of mechanical weathering
What is the longest part of the rock cycle?
Weathering and erosion is the longest part.
What are two thing that could happen to metamorphic rock to continue the rock cycle?
Weathering or melt.
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
What are the main agents of changes in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
