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.
What type of rock is formed from particles or dissolved minerals from previously existing rocks?
The rock described would be a clastic sedimentary rock.
When rock particles hold as much water as they possibly can the rock is?
The rock is porous.
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 happens to sedimentary rock after it undergoes weathering?
After sedimentary rock undergoes weathering, it breaks down into smaller particles like sand, silt, and clay. These particles are then transported by water, wind, or ice to new locations where they can accumulate and eventually form new sedimentary rock through the process of lithification.
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 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 can happen to rock particles they are squeezed and heated?
When rock particles are squeezed and heated, they can undergo metamorphism, a process that alters their mineral composition and texture. This can lead to the formation of new minerals and the development of foliation or banding in the rock. Additionally, the intense pressure and temperature can cause the rock to become more dense and change its physical properties, resulting in metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss.
What happens if you cut a piece off of the moon?
you get moon rock.
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 happens to the Moon's shape overnight?
Absolutely nothing, it's a solid piece of ROCK.
What particles are in rock?
Rock particles.
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.
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 is before metamorphic rock in the rock cycle?
Sedimentary Rock which becomes heated and pressed and Igneous Rock which is also heated and compressed.
What does sandstone change to?
That depends on what happens to it. If it is sufficiently heated and compressed it will metamorphose to quartzite.
