What else can I help you with?
When rock particles hold as much water as they possibly can the rock is?
The rock is porous.
What is a bits of weathered rock particles?
Weathered rock particles are small pieces of rock that have been broken down by physical, chemical, or biological processes. These particles can be found in soil, sediment, and other natural formations.
Is parent rock weathered rock particles?
No, parent rock refers to the original rock from which soil is formed through weathering processes. Weathered rock particles are the result of the breakdown of parent rock due to physical, chemical, or biological processes.
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together through processes like compaction and cementation. This type of rock typically forms at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and solidification of sediments.
What happens when rock heated?
When rock is heated it becomes enlarged. If the rock becomes too hot from the heat it will break and crack.
If a rock dissolves what happens to the particles?
They continue on in the rock cycle.
What happens if you cut a piece off of the moon?
you get moon rock.
What happens to the rocks when they heat up?
When rocks heat up, they can undergo a process called thermal expansion, where they expand in size due to increased temperature. This can create stress within the rock, potentially leading to cracks or fractures. In more extreme cases, rocks can melt and form magma.
What happens if you put a rock on fire?
You would only heat the rock. Heated rocks are used in some spas & put on your spine.
What particles are in rock?
Rock particles.
What happens to the Moon's shape overnight?
Absolutely nothing, it's a solid piece of ROCK.
What happens when metamorphic rocks are heated?
When metamorphic rocks are heated, the minerals within the rock may undergo recrystallization, transforming into new minerals. This process can lead to the development of new textures and structures in the rock. However, excessive heat can cause the minerals to melt and reform as igneous rocks.
What is before metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary Rock which becomes heated and pressed and Igneous Rock which is also heated and compressed.
For metamorphic rock to become igneous rock what steps are necessary?
Metamorphic rock can not become igneous rock, however igneous rock can become metamorphic. This process happens over time as the rocks are shifted, compressed and heated by the Earth.
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
Why rock is heated forms magma?
The rock melts, just like most other solids do when heated. Magma is to rock as water is to ice.
