What type of weathering that does not change the mineral composition of a rock?
Physical weathering, such as frost wedging or root wedging, does not alter the mineral composition of a rock. These processes break down rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical makeup.
What is the picking up and moving of rocks called?
The process of picking up and moving rocks is called rock lifting or rock relocation.
Is the sedimentary rock that forms when minerals precipitate from a solution and settle from a suspension organic chemical or clastic sedimentary rock?
The sedimentary rock formed from minerals precipitating from a solution is called chemical sedimentary rock. It is formed through processes such as evaporation or chemical reactions, without the involvement of organic material or clastic particles.
Weathered pieces of rock are called?
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.
What is the type of sedimentary rock that forms by precipitation of minerals out of water?
Halite and Gypsum, they are called Evaporites and are both rocks and minerals
Chemical weathering cannot alter a rock's chemical makeup true or false?
False
The chemical makeup of a rock describes either the minerals or other materials in the rock?
Composition
Is the chemical makeup of residual soil is different from that of its bed rock?
false
What is it called when the physical break down of rock and soil without any change in chemical makeup by physical process such as freezing and thawing?
Weathering
Does chemical weathering produce rock particles with the same mineral makeup as the rock they came from?
No it just dissolves
Does breaking a rock into pieces cause it to have a different chemical makeup?
no the material stay the same.
Why type of weathering does not alter the chemical composition of rock?
Erosion is the moving of sediment from one place to another place. Deposition is the settling of particles suspended in air, ice, or water due to gravity or friction.Read more: The_process_through_which_sediment_is_laid_down_in_new_locations
What takes place when changes in pressure temperature or chemical makeup alters a rock?
It becomes a metamorphic rock, altered by heat, pressure, or hot fluids.
What is weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock called?
The type of weathering that does not alter the chemical composition of the rock is called physical weathering. The acid weathering usually alter the chemical composition of a rock.
What metamorphic rock will bubble when tested with vinegar?
Marble will fizz because of the chemical reaction with its calcium carbonate makeup.
What is physical processes break rocks into fragments with the same chemical makeup and characteristics as the original rock?
mechanical wearthering
When molten rock cools and hardens is a physical change or chemical change?
When molten rock cools and hardens, it is a physical change because the composition of the rock remains the same. The change in state from liquid to solid does not alter the chemical makeup of the rock.
