Am existing rock can be made harder by recrystallization or additional cementation.
What is it called when softer rock weathers away and leaves harder rocks behind
No, basalt is generally harder than marble. Basalt is a mafic extrusive rock that has a higher hardness and durability compared to marble, which is a metamorphic rock.
No, limestone is harder than chalk. Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcite, whereas chalk is a soft, porous sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate.
Pedestal rocks are formed through a process called differential weathering. This occurs when softer rock surrounding a harder, more resistant rock erodes more quickly, leaving the harder rock standing on a pedestal-like structure. Over time, the pedestal rock may be further shaped by weathering and erosion.
Plastic Rock is a rock that behaves something between a liquid and a solid, due to the amount of water in between the molecules.Water in between the molecules of the rock, makes it a somewhat liquid. When any pressure or push on the rock makes the water leave from the molecules, and makes it harder for the molecules to behave like a liquid, so, the rock becomes a solid.Information found from Exploring Creation with Physical Science by Dr. Jay L. Wile.
A rock drill may be tipped with industrial diamonds, because the diamond tip makes the drill harder than the rock(s). Diamond is the hardest natural mineral on Earth.
Friction makes it harder to move things.
The cast of Rock Harder - 2007 includes: Daniel Lee Simmons as Rock Harder Yvonne Misiak as Mandy Korey Ramos as Cheeks Easton
What is it called when softer rock weathers away and leaves harder rocks behind
Yes and no. Rock can be pretty soft.
A diamond
The harder rock is diamond
A rock that is white and harder than chalk is likely to be marble. Marble is a metamorphic rock that is formed from limestone under high pressure and heat, making it harder and more durable than chalk, which is a soft sedimentary rock.
The rocks are underground so intrusive rocks are under pressure so its harder.
Pedestal rocks are usually formed in desert, when wind erosion wears away softer rock under-laying a harder rock. The harder rock is eroded at a slower rate than the softer rock.
it makes u harder and harder
