Rocks at or near the surface are subjected to mechanical and chemical weathering which results in oxidation and hydration of their minerals and breaking into smaller pieces.
Rock fragments and mechanically-weak weathered rocks may then be subject to erosion, i.e. to being carried away.
What else can I help you with?
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
What are the most common type of rock found at the earths surface and in the earths crust?
The most common type of rock found at the Earth's surface and in the Earth's crust are sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments such as sand, mud, and organic debris. Sedimentary rocks cover about 75% of the Earth's surface.
Where are the youngest rocks found?
The youngest rocks are usually found near the Earth's surface in active geologic areas like volcanic regions or tectonic plate boundaries where new rocks are constantly being formed. These rocks are still in the process of being created and have not had as much time to undergo geological processes like erosion and metamorphism.
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What happens when rocks beneath earth surface undergo stress?
what happens when rocks beneath earths surface under goes trees
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
How do intrusiver rocks form?
intrusive rocks are formed within the earths surface from magma. extrusive rocks are formed from lava outside of earths surface
How much rocks are on the surface of the earth?
Apart form the Oceans the earths surface is made of rocks.
What are two types of rock changes as it moves?
lava moving in between the cracks of the earths surface and pushing rocks together and apart.
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.
What happens to a rocks that are pushed under earths surface and become hotter and experience more pressure?
As rocks are pushed deeper into the Earth's interior, they experience higher temperatures and pressures. This can cause the rocks to undergo changes in mineral composition, texture, and structure through processes like metamorphism. Eventually, these rocks can be transformed into new types of rocks such as metamorphic rocks.
How is sedimenary rocks formed?
Sedimentary rocks are formed from the earths surface when sediments hardens into rocks :]
What are the ladder if rocks under the earth surface called?
There is no ladder if (of?) rocks under the earths surface, your question is meaningless.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
What is in the formation of igneous rocks but not in formation of metamorphic rocks?
igneous rocks form within earths surface
