In Greek, "litho-" means stone or rock, and "sphere" means globe or ball. Therefore, "lithosphere" translates to "rock globe" in Greek.
Weathered pieces of rock are called sediment. As rocks are broken down by physical or chemical processes, they form sediment that can be transported and eventually deposited elsewhere.
This scenario demonstrates the conservation of mass. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, but the total mass of the smaller pieces remains equal to the original rock.
The idea that pieces of rock found in another rock are older than the rock they are found in is stated in the law of superposition. This principle helps geologists determine the relative ages of different rock layers.
The breakdown of rock into smaller pieces is called weathering. Weathering can occur through physical processes like freezing-thawing cycles or chemical processes like acid rain. These smaller rock pieces can then contribute to the formation of soil.
clastic
To divide a sphere in 8 equal parts in three steps: * Cut a plane through the most circular part of the sphere - this cuts the sphere in half * Cut a plane perpendicular to the first plane with the lengths aligned - this cuts the sphere in four pieces * Cut a plane perpendicular to the first plane at a right angle to the second plane - this cuts the sphere into eight pieces
rock made up of big pieces cemented together (sedimentary-pieces, conglomerate-big pieces)
A geode.
When a rock is broken into many pieces, it is called fragmentation.
pieces of rock
By integration. That means that in theory, the sphere is divided into many small pieces - for example, flat slabs, and the volume of each one is approximated.
In Greek, "litho-" means stone or rock, and "sphere" means globe or ball. Therefore, "lithosphere" translates to "rock globe" in Greek.
