What else can I help you with?
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 does sedimentary rocks undergoes processes of?
Sedimentary rocks undergo processes of weathering, erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification. Weathering breaks down existing rocks into smaller particles, which are then transported by wind, water, or ice. These sediments are eventually deposited in layers and, over time, compacted and cemented together through lithification to form solid rock. This cycle can be part of the larger rock cycle, where sedimentary rocks may also be transformed into metamorphic or igneous rocks under certain conditions.
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 biogeochemical cycles are dependent on the rock cycle?
The phosphorus cycle is dependent on the rock cycle because phosphorus is released from rocks through weathering processes, entering the biogeochemical cycle. Similarly, the calcium cycle is also linked to the rock cycle as calcium is stored in rocks like limestone and released through weathering. Additionally, the sulfur cycle interacts with the rock cycle as sulfur compounds in rocks can be released through weathering and volcanic activity.
What process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
How does weathering relate to the rock cycle?
Weathering is a key process in the rock cycle because it breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, contributing to the formation of sedimentary rocks. These sediments can then be eroded, transported, and eventually compacted and cemented to form sedimentary rocks. So, weathering is integral to the creation of sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
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 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 is the beginning of the rock cycle?
The beginning of the rock cycle is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through processes like weathering and erosion.
What part of the rock cycle wears down earth's surface?
Weathering and erosion.
What are the main agents of changes in the rock cycle?
temperture,pressure,weathering,and erosion.
