the sun would give the rock type enough energy so it burns too crisp but when that happens the sun will also explode

What do weathering erosion and deposition do to the earths surface?
It makes rock, etc. move to different areas which causes more things to happen!
What layer of the earths atmosphere does the weather happen?
the troposphere.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface the same as thee forces that drive the rock cycle on or near Earth's surface?
they are not the same b/c the steps of the rock cycle that happen above the eartths surface require other things(evaporation etc.) than below the earths surface(heat, pressure, etc)
In order to form magma what must happen to sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rocks?
Heat must melt the sedimentary,metamorphic,or igneous and it will turn to magma
What will happen if soil is exposed to too much rain?
if soil is exposed to to much rain it will get damp and it will deteriorate
What would happen to an igneous rock exposed at the earth s surface?
it did
On what part of the earths surface does weathering happen at a faster rate?
yes
What will happen if more of a rock's surface is exposed?
More of it will be weathered and eroded.
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
What would happen if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor were not in the atmosphere?
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
What happen to the magma after being pushed upward and exposed at the surface of the ocean floor?
The lava would form pillow basalts.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What do weathering erosion and deposition do to the earths surface?
It makes rock, etc. move to different areas which causes more things to happen!
What would happen if the space station stop moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to the Earths Surface.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were not moving sideways?
Earth's Gravity would pull it straight down to earths surface.
Why does a waxing gibbous happen?
The moon has reflective soil on its surface so when the earths shadow falls on it the suns rays don't reach the surface so making the moon shrink or grow
How is igneous rock form?
When magma, which is molten rock, cools, igneous rock forms. This can happen as a subsurface event, or it can occur as exposed magma solidfies at the surface after it emerges. The number of different "types" of rock that are formed are as varied as the material from which it forms, and are also affected by the way the rock cools.
