Is there a difference between horizontal boring and directional boring?

Yes, there is a difference between horizontal boring and directional boring. Horizontal boring involves digging a tunnel underground along a straight line horizontally. Directional boring, on the other hand, involves drilling a tunnel underground with the ability to change the direction and angle of the bore as needed.


Which type of rocks can be weathered and eroded?

All types of rocks can be weathered and eroded. However, sedimentary rocks are typically more susceptible to weathering and erosion compared to igneous and metamorphic rocks due to their composition and structure.


Can rocks be minerals?

Rocks are not minerals, but they are made up of minerals. A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition, while a rock is a combination of one or more minerals. So, rocks can be composed of one or more minerals.


How does physical and chemical weathering combine to affect rocks?

Physical weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, increasing their surface area exposed to chemical weathering processes. Chemical weathering alters the mineral composition of rocks, weakening them and making them more susceptible to further physical weathering. Together, physical and chemical weathering work to break down rocks into smaller particles and alter their composition over time.


Do rocks have crystals?

Some rocks may contain crystals, but not all rocks contain crystals. Crystals can be found in rocks that have volcanic origin.
