What else can I help you with?
In the rock cycle water and weather wear away rock by the process of?
Weathering.
What dose weather mean?
what dose the weather mean & what is it about & where and why do we have weather
What kind of metamorphic rock splits into sheets when broken?
foliated
Does rock music affect your heart rate?
yes
What things keeps the rock cycle going?
The weather and plate tectonics.
What happens when a rock is broken into small bits?
it breaks
What happens when a large rock is broken up?
You get lots of smaller rocks
What is the movement of weather that occurs when a rock is broken down or weakened?
Erosion is the wearing down of geological features by the action of weather.
A sedimentray rock composed of what would weather at a faster rate?
Chalk would weather fastest, followed by limestone.
What happens to the pieces of rock when it is broken down by wind?
Erosion/gathering which generates sand.
What determines the rate at which rocks weather '?
The rate at which rocks weather is determined by factors such as the type of rock, climate (temperature and precipitation), presence of vegetation, and human activities. Rocks that are more susceptible to chemical and physical breakdown will weather faster compared to more resistant rocks.
How does rock hardness affect the rate of weathering?
Rock hardness affects the rate of weathering because softer rocks weather more quickly than harder rocks. Soft rocks are more easily broken down by chemical or mechanical weathering processes, while hard rocks are more resistant to weathering due to their strong mineral structure.
When some acid put onto the piece of rock what happens?
When acid is put onto a piece of rock, a chemical reaction may occur where the acid can dissolve or etch the rock depending on its composition. This can result in the rock being eroded or broken down over time. The rate of reaction depends on factors such as the type of acid and the mineral composition of the rock.
What changes the speed at which rock is broken apart?
The speed at which rock is broken apart can be influenced by factors such as the type and strength of the rock, the presence of fractures or weaknesses, the force applied (e.g. through erosion, weathering, or human activities), and environmental conditions like temperature and moisture levels. Additionally, the frequency and intensity of natural processes like freezing-thawing cycles or chemical weathering can also affect the rate of rock breakdown.
What can affect the rate at whick a rock weathers?
Rocks weather due to physical changes. They can also weather as a result of chemical processes. Things that can affect the rate at which a rock weathers includes weather conditions. Rocks can decompose due to wind and water. The more intense the weather conditions, the more progressive the weathering process will be.
Why will a rock weather more rapidly if it is broken into smaller particles?
A rock will weather more rapidly when it is broken into smaller particles because it increases the surface area exposed to weathering agents such as water, wind, and chemicals. This greater surface area allows for more interactions between the rock and these agents, leading to accelerated breakdown and erosion of the rock material.
Why does permeable rock weather chemically fast rate?
It is because the rock is full of tiny air spaces that allow water to seep through it, so as the water seeps through the spaces it dissolves and removes material broken down by weathering. If you are doing this for a school science question, that's what textbooks are for. If not, then I can tell you are a person who enjoys to read and is a scientist.
