What is limestones parent rock?
Limestone does not have a parent rock.
What is parent bedrock?
Parent bedrock is an underlying geological material that soil horizons from. Soils inherit a good deal of minerals from the parent materials.

What is parent material?
The term "parent material" is generic and it refers to any type of substance or material which undergoes some process to produce another material. The term "parent material" can be used in geology, chemistry or radioactivity for three of many examples. In Earth science and geology , it may refer to mineral composition that weathers easily can produce more soil, for example. In nuclear physics, it is the radioactive material that decays to produce daughter nuclei. In chemistry, it is material that undergoes chemical change to yield another chemical.
What brings material from the mantle to the earths surface?
What brings material from the Mantle to the Earth's Surface is rock...
Which soil horizon contains parent rock?
The C horizon typically contains parent rock material, which is the unweathered rock from which the soil has developed.
What is the term for rock that has been weathered to become soil?
The term for rock that has been weathered to become soil is "parent material." Parent material refers to the original rock or mineral material that has undergone weathering and other natural processes to form soil.
How do you use the word parent material in a sentence?
There are chunks of rock in the parent material. Kianna Jauris "KJ" Lyanda-Parryu Jr. 3
What comes after subsoil?
After subsoil comes the parent material, which is the bedrock or unconsolidated material that lies beneath the subsoil. The parent material is the layer from which the soil is derived through weathering and other geological processes.
What two factors have the greatest influence on soil?
Parent Rock (material) and Climate.
What two have the greatest influence on soil formation?
Parent Rock (material) and Climate.
In order for radiometric dating to be accurate what must be true about the daughter material at the time a rock formed?
The daughter material must have not been present in the rock at the time it formed. This ensures that any daughter material present in the rock is solely due to the radioactive decay of the parent material since the time of formation.
What is in weathered parent rock?
Weathered parent rock typically contains a mix of minerals and organic material. It may also include elements like clay, silt, sand, and other residual particles depending on the weathering process. These components are the result of physical, chemical, and biological breakdown of the original rock material.
What two factors have the greatest influence on the soil formation?
Parent Rock (material) and Climate.
When mollusks such as oysters or clams die their shells sink to the bottom of the water and are the base material for what kind of parent rock?
That kind of rock is called "sedementary rock".
Which horizon contains the least-weathered parent material?
which horizon contains the least weathered parent material
Why is bed rock called the parent of soil?
Bed rock is called the parent of soil because soil formation begins when bed rock is broken down by weathering . Weathering breaks the parent rock into smaller and smaller peices later on the weathered rock is broke down into soil particles. :-)
