Buried rock is exposed at earths surface by the combination of which two processes?
The combination of weathering and erosion exposes buried rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces away, eventually revealing the rock at the surface.
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
How did weathering erosion and deposition create sinkholes?
Weathering weakens the bedrock beneath the surface, making it susceptible to erosion. Water seeps into the cracks in the bedrock, dissolving it and creating underground caverns. Eventually, the roof of the cavern collapses due to gravity, creating a sinkhole.
When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering they eventually become which rock?
When igneous rocks are exposed on Earth's surface and undergo weathering, they break down into smaller particles and eventually become sedimentary rocks through the process of erosion, transportation, deposition, and lithification.
What parts of the Rock cycle occur at the Earth's surface?
Mostly the sedimentary part which involves the process of weathering, and diagenesis occurs at the earths surface.
When rocks are subjected to weathering and erosion at the earths surface what type of rock do they become?
they die

What are the process that cause earths surface to wear down?
Weathering and erosion
What is the weathering of the earth's surface called?
The weathering of the Earth's surface is called erosion. Erosion is the process by which soil and rock are removed and transported by wind, water, or ice.
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Why is there no weathering and erosion in the moon?
The Moon does not have an atmosphere or running water, which are essential for weathering and erosion processes on Earth. Without these agents, there is no mechanism for breaking down rocks or transporting sediment on the Moon. Additionally, the Moon's surface is not subjected to the same level of geological activity as Earth, further limiting weathering and erosion.
How does weathering and erosion change moons surface?
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.
What do weathering and erosion do to the earth's surface?
it kinds of destroyes it
What is the processes that shape earth's surface?
Erosion by weathering.
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
How did weathering erosion and deposition create sinkholes?
Weathering weakens the bedrock beneath the surface, making it susceptible to erosion. Water seeps into the cracks in the bedrock, dissolving it and creating underground caverns. Eventually, the roof of the cavern collapses due to gravity, creating a sinkhole.
How can wind help shape the earth's surface?
by weathering and erosion
