if you scrape the rockes together it will make friction which also means heat. If you do this long enough, hard enough, then you will make a fire but it isn't easy!

Can friable rock burn easily?

It depends, really. A rock's friability is the ability of a rock to easily be broken into smaller pieces(easy in the sense of hitting it with your hand). Whether or not a rock can burn is based more off of a rock's composition. For example, coal will burn, quartz will not. Rocks made up of organic material(coal, peat, lignite, oil shale) will burn - hence, fuel. A rock can, though, be organic and friable. So its possible to have a friable rock that can burn. But ignition isn't dependent upon friability.


Is it possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock?

Yes, it is possible for rocks in the rock cycle to skip becoming sedimentary rock. Rocks can undergo processes such as metamorphism or melting to transform directly into igneous or metamorphic rocks without passing through a sedimentary stage.


What term specifically describes small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earths atmosphere?

Meteoroids are the small chunks of rocks and debris in space that burn up in Earth's atmosphere. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere and create a streak of light, they are referred to as meteors. If a meteor survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite.


Can you turn rocks into crystals?

No, rocks and crystals are formed through different processes in nature. Rocks are made up of minerals, while crystals are solid structures with a specific repeating pattern of atoms or molecules. Crystals can form from solutions, gases, or solids, but simply turning a rock into a crystal is not possible.


Is it possible for two igneous rocks to have the same mineral constituents but different names?

Yes, it is possible for two igneous rocks to have the same mineral constituents but different names. This can occur if the rocks have formed under different conditions such as depth of burial, cooling rates, or chemical compositions, which can lead to different textures, structures, and overall classification.

Why do rocks not burn?

Rocks do burn just pour a gasoline and drop it in the fire.


Is it possible to burn a rock or melt a rock?

Yes, it is possible to melt certain types of rocks, as they are made up of minerals that have melting points. Burning a rock is more difficult as rocks are composed of minerals that are typically more resistant to combustion. However, under extreme conditions, it is possible to burn some types of rocks through a process called pyrolysis, which breaks down the minerals into simpler compounds.


Can rocks burn?

No, rocks cannot burn because they are made up of minerals that do not combust.


What kind of rock do you burn?

You can burn sedimentary rocks like shale or coal. However, it's important to note that burning rocks can release harmful gases and pollutants, so it's not recommended to burn rocks for energy or heat.


Can rocks get burned?
