What else can I help you with?
How can you change the density of solid rock?
Melting the rock to its liquid form then re-freezing it into a solid will realign the rock's crystaline structure thereby altering the density.
Water cannot pass through solid rock because?
impermeable
How weathering and erosion work together?
how can water and gravity work together to erode soil, sediment, and rock
What is a name for a solid liquad and gas?
Solid - A rock, icecube, clay, or wood Liquid - Water Gas - Fossil Fuels, Gasoline
Is rock solid liquid or gas?
Rock is neither a liquid nor a gas; it is a solid. Rocks are made up of minerals, which are naturally occurring inorganic solids with a specific chemical composition and a crystalline structure. The atoms in a solid are closely packed together and have a fixed shape and volume. In contrast, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, while gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.
What can sedimentary rocks form?
Any rock that breaks down into sediments and then pressed back into a solid form.
What is it called when solid form of water that breaks rocks?
The process in which water freezes and expands within rocks, causing them to break apart, is called ice wedging or freeze-thaw weathering. This occurs when water gets into cracks in rocks, freezes, and as a result exerts pressure on the surrounding rock, leading to its fragmentation.
How can water erode materials?
Water seeps into cracks and breaks apart the rock or water rubs the side of the rock that is exposed and breaks off pieces of the rock.
What breaks rock into sediment?
Wind and water.
What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
What type of rock is it when weathering deposition and cementation are all involved in the formation of the rock?
The type of rock formed when weathering, deposition, and cementation are all involved is sedimentary rock. Weathering breaks down rocks into sediments, which are then transported and deposited by water, wind, or ice. Cementation occurs when minerals precipitate and bind the sediments together to form solid rock.
When and how does magma form solid rock?
It cools and becomes solid
Why do rocks break after being frozen?
When water gets in a rock the water freezes and erodes and breaks the rock.
Water cannot pass through solid rock because it is?
Impermeable. The pores in solid rock are too small for water to flow through.
What can water damage?
it damages metal by rusting it Water in its purest form can dissolve rocks and minerals. It can erode mountains and cut through solid rock.
What are the two ways water breaks down rock?
Water breaks down rock through physical weathering, where water expands as it freezes in rock crevices, causing the rock to break apart. It also causes chemical weathering by reacting with minerals in the rock to form new compounds that weaken the rock structure.
How does the rock rhyolite form?
Lava that has been cooled down into solid rock.
