How are moon rocks similar and different to rocks on earth?
Minerals that make up moon rocks are the same minerals that are found on Earth. Some moon rocks have minerals that combine to form kinds of rocks that are not found on Earth. BlueStar(:
How are faults intrusions and extrusions similar?
Faults, intrusions, and extrusions are all geologic features related to the movement of the Earth's crust. Faults are fractures along which rocks have moved, intrusions are igneous rocks that have been forced into pre-existing rocks, and extrusions are igneous rocks that have been extruded onto the Earth's surface. They all involve the movement and displacement of rocks, contributing to the shaping of the Earth's crust.
How is the building up of earth and the wearing down of earth related to different kinds of rock?
The building up of Earth, known as rock deposition, contributes to sedimentary rock formation as sediments are compacted and cemented over time. The wearing down of Earth, through processes like erosion and weathering, breaks down rocks into smaller pieces that can contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks. Igneous rocks may also be weathered down into sediments, which can undergo lithification to become sedimentary rocks.
Which scientist would study rocks?
A petrologist studies the history and structure of rocks. Geologists and paleontologists also have great interest in rocks.
Why must the earth be older than its oldest rocks?
Two points here: rocks are solidified material--early Earth was molten. The first rocks appeared after the molten Earth cooled somewhat. Secondly, Earth's rocks are constantly being recycled through the 'rock cycle'. The oldest rocks on Earth have somehow survived those recycling efforts, but no rock found on Earth (other than some meteorites) is as old as the planet.
What is Dewey decimal number for rocks and minerals?
The Dewey Decimal Classification for rocks and minerals falls under the category 550, which is designated for Earth sciences. More specifically, rocks are classified under 552, while minerals are classified under 549. This system helps organize materials in libraries related to geology and related earth sciences.
How are rocks related to earth science?
Because rocks are formed deep in the Earth, and sometimes by compressed sand other sedimentary material.
How are major parts of the earth system related to each other?

What type of scientists study rocks?
A geologist studies rocks and what the earth is made of. A petrologist is someone who looks at rocks directly.
How are the rocks at the top of the mountain on Earth’s surface related to the rocks that form in Earth’s interior?
Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.

What object is at the center of a geocetric solar system?
'Geo' comes from the Greek for Earth e.g. Geometry means measuring the Earth; Geology means reading the Earth (rocks), Geography means writing about the Earth. So a geocentric solar system has Earth at the centre.
What is the process where rocks, gas, and dust collided to form the planets in your solar system, including earth?
accretion
