What else can I help you with?
How is igneous rock transported?
Igneous rock is transported by wind or moving water until they are deposited in other regions where they settle in layers.
How does the composition of the magma effect the temperature at which it solidifies?
When fluids such as water combine with rock, the composition of the rock changes, which lowers the melting point of the rock enough to melt it.
What formation is responsible for rock gypsum?
Gypsum is formed underwater, usually between layers of shale and limestone. When the water evaporates and the area dries, the gypsum becomes solid "rock" gypsum.
How does mixing concrete and allowing it to harden is similar to formation of sedimentary rock?
Both processes include sediments and water, with the water facilitating the setting of the material. However, sedimentary rock tends to form under pressure, whereas the hardening of concrete just requires it to dry out.
What flat topped rock or hill formation with steep sides?
plateau
Is water required for the formation of sedimentary rock?
Yes
Why do river stones round out?
Sharp edges are knocked off by the tumbling effect created by moving water, much as a mechanical rock polisher does via a rotating drum. As more and more sharp edges are rounded, and as the rock is abraded by much smaller rock particles being transported by running water, the effect is a rounded smoothed rock surface.
Are rock fragments carried away by moving water?
no it's not carried away by moving water
What Wind moving water and falling rock are examples of what type of energy?
Wind moving water and falling rock are examples of kinetic energy, which is the energy of movement.
Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock?
Water is the substance that has the greatest effect on the rate of weathering of rock. Water can seep into cracks in rock, freeze and expand, causing the rock to break apart. Water can also chemically react with minerals in the rock, leading to chemical weathering.
What is mixture of loose sand rock and water moving at a rapid pace?
An avalanche is a mixture of loose sand, rock, and water (usually in the form of snow) moving at a rapid pace.
What is the effect of water freezes in the cracks in rock?
The rock cracks and weathers.
What is water bearing rock?
Water-bearing rock, also known as an aquifer, is a formation underground that can store and transmit water. It allows groundwater to flow through it, making it a vital source of fresh water for wells and springs. The ability of a rock formation to hold and transfer water depends on its porosity and permeability.
How does the water flow down in a waterfall?
Water flows down in a waterfall due to gravity pulling it downward. As the water cascades over the edge of a cliff or rock formation, it gains speed and momentum, creating the dramatic effect of a waterfall.
What Crystal Formation?
a mixture of rock and water is weathered and the crystals form
