Because A rock is dense solid, it like to retain heat. the reason it is cold is because at night its cold, and so the rock slowly gets cold. rocks are not always cold, exposed to sunlight for sustained amounts of time and the rock will feel hot. break the hot rock open and the inside will be cold because of its tempature retention from the night before.
weather u beleve it or not, wheather makes soil. When wheather is warm, rocks get bigger. When wheather is cold, rocks get smaller.
The reason it differs is because when it is at the top of a mountain, the air is much colder. The air penertrates the pours (holes) in the rocks and it causes it to slowly crack and eventually break completely. At sea level it is not as cold, but when the water continuously hits the rocks, some of the particles in the rocks break away. When a rock is warm, the Particles in it expand and when a rock is cold the particles in it contract. Because it is constantly expanding and contracting, it makes the rock weaker and eventually it will break.
Water can break up rocks, usually over some amount of time, because the liquid water seeps into small nooks and crannies, then when the water becomes cold enough and it freezes, it expands, forcing the rock or rocks apart, and since rocks are not very flexible but rather brittle this can cause the cracks to widen and lengthen, and break up the rocks.
rock weathers any where. especially in places that rain and get cold at night. rocks can weather in places that have acids in the air
Well basically when it rains really heavily and its really cold at the same time the rain and the cold sort of unite and become these hard rocks. Hope I helped see ya!
elmo rocks
A Rock contracts with cold, and expands with heat.
no it is made op of cold rocks a bit of magma hot rocks gas cold air and other thing
Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered. Rocks expand due to heat and contract due to cold. Thus, due to unequal expansion and contraction ,the rocks tend to break and get weathered.
Heat and cold affect/break the rocks when the weather changes .. The weather changes : 1. Warm/Very Warm/Calm Warm 2. Cold/Very Cold/Calm Cold I hope this answer helps ... - just visit me at facebook @DannahMarie .... like it or not that's my OFFICIAL ANSWER ...
Rocks are solids. Hence when cooled, they contract. However, this contraction is very minimal due to their solid nature.
well in the rocks or a cold place
Rocks shrink in cold weather. It is very small but it is important if any of its cracks have water in them. Water expands when it freezes. Because they are opposing forces it will cause the rock to break.
Geckos are considered to be cold blooded as the use exothermic methods to control there body temperature. These methods include lying on hot rocks, or in the sun, burrowing under rocks, or shading themselves.
On rocks in the north pole and in the bottem of the ocean in cold water
weather u beleve it or not, wheather makes soil. When wheather is warm, rocks get bigger. When wheather is cold, rocks get smaller.
in cold countries,water freezes inside cracks of rocks,expands,and causes rocks to break.
