What are very smooth rocks called?

Very smooth rocks are called "polished rocks" or "river rocks" due to the smooth texture achieved from erosion in water bodies like rivers and oceans.


How do plant roots break apart rocks?

Plant roots can secrete organic acids that help dissolve minerals in rocks, weakening their structure. Additionally, as roots grow and expand, they can exert physical force on the rock, causing it to break apart. Over time, these processes contribute to the weathering and fragmentation of rocks by plant roots.


How the three types of rocks formed?

Igneous: These rocks are volcanic in nature. They are split into two categories in where they cool/crystallize: intrusive (internal) and extrusive (external). Intrusive volcanic rocks cool slowly, so they contain (usually) large crystals, like granites. Extrusive rocks are quite the opposite, in which they cool very quickly. This is where you get your obsidian glass and basalts. Sedimentary: These rocks are depositional and categorized by the kind of sediment it is made up of. Metamorphic: This can be the offspring rock of either a morphosed igneous or sedimentary rock. This metamorphism is accomplished by heat and/or pressure, and during a great length of time.

Can all rocks be melted?

No, not all rocks can be melted. Rocks with high melting points, such as granite, can require very high temperatures to melt. Additionally, some rocks can react chemically or decompose before reaching their melting point.
