How does heating and cooling weather the rock?

because the rocks get very hot during the day with the sun, and then go very cold very rapidly at night time. this causes the rocks to expand and break away bits at a time, this is weathering of a rock.


What happens as you go deeper into the earth?

As you go deeper into the Earth, the temperature and pressure increase due to the heat generated by radioactive decay and the weight of the overlying rocks. Also, the composition of the rocks changes, transitioning from solid material to molten rock in the Earth's mantle and core.


How is the building up of earth and the wearing down of earth related to different kinds of rock?

The building up of Earth, known as rock deposition, contributes to sedimentary rock formation as sediments are compacted and cemented over time. The wearing down of Earth, through processes like erosion and weathering, breaks down rocks into smaller pieces that can contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks may also be weathered down into sediments, which can undergo lithification to become sedimentary rocks.


What types of rocks can ants go inside of?

Ants can go inside porous rocks such as sandstone and limestone, which have small crevices and passages for them to navigate through. They can also occupy rocks with spaces and gaps like granite and basalt, using them as shelters or nests.


Do rocks last forever?

Well, isn't that a delightful question! Rocks, just like everything in nature, go through changes over time. While rocks may seem everlasting to us, they can actually break down and transform into different forms through processes like erosion and weathering. It's all part of the beautiful cycle of nature, my friend.
