Why is the erosion of sandstone a physical change?

The erosion of sandstone is considered a physical change because it involves the breaking down of the solid sandstone through processes like wind, water, and temperature fluctuations, without altering its chemical composition. The particles of sandstone are physically worn away but remain the same in terms of their chemical structure.


When air pressure goes up the liquid in a mercury barometer goes?

When air pressure goes up, the liquid in a mercury barometer goes down. This is because as air pressure increases, it pushes the mercury in the tube to rise, indicating higher pressure.


If the volume of a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature decreases its pressure does what?

Volume and pressure vary indirectly, which means that when one goes up, the other goes down. If the pressure goes up, the volume goes down. If the volume goes up, the pressure goes down.Mathematically:P1V1 = P2V2The left side represents the beginning conditions, and the right side represents the pressure and temperature that have changed. Note that this formula assumes constant mass and temperature.


What is one way magma forms?

It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava.


What role does atmospheric pressure play when someone is drinking a liquid through a straw?

when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. because there is less air the pressure of the straw is reduced. but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid remains the same. henceforth how it helps you drink

How do the growth of grains in sandstone change to quartzite?

The minerals in sandstone recrystallize when granite first turns into sandstone a gritty sedimentary rock under weathering and erosion and then into the metamorphic rock quartzite under heat and pressure and then it goes all the way throughout the rock cycle and back into its original form of granite a igneous rock and is formed when magma recrystallizes.


Does gneiss turn into shale?

No. its the opposite. gneiss forms after shale goes through metamorphism


How does igneousn rock become metamorphic rock?

it goes through immense heat and pressure


What is the transmission fluid pressure on a TH400 as it goes to and from the radiator?

Should be no pressure, the ATF is just pumped through the cooler back to the transmission.


How does a sedimentary rock that is subject to heat and pressure turn into a metamorphic rock?

It goes through the process of heat and pressure


What happen to water pressure when the volume of water moving through a hose is reduced?

water pressure goes down because the force of the water going through the space decreases


How does a trench forms?

They form when the oceanic crust goes under the Continental crust. The oceanic crust then forms the trenches through a process called subduction.


A metamorphic rock?

It is a rock that goes through a lot of heat or pressure to make a new rock.
