What else can I help you with?
What are some similarities between erosion and weathering?
they both have to do with sediments
What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
Can a igneouse rock become a sedimentary rock?
It all depends on the cycle of how it works.. 1st it would need to cause sediments by weathering + erosion. 2nd It would also need compaction and cementation to cause pressure. 3rd you have a sedimentary rock!!
What powers the earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the earth's core, via the magma drives the tectonic part of the rock cycle. This heat is derived mainly from radioactive fission of the heavy elements in the Core.Gravity drives much of the weathering part of the rock cycle. Via evaporation of water, and rain and rivers, and glaciation.Some solar radiation also energizes part of the weathering part of the rock cycle.
What process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
What are examples of erosion deposition and weathering?
Processes affecting the surface of the Earth and part of the Rock Cycle.
What are all parts of the rock cycle?
weathering,erosion, deposition,compaction,cenentation,metaorphism,melting,cooling and solidfication
What combination of process can transform a metormorphic rock to sediments?
Metamorphic rock can be transformed into sediments through the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, erosion transports these pieces to new locations, and deposition settles the sediments in layers. Over time, these sediment layers can be compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
What comes after weathering?
After autumn, the next season is winter.
What is the external processes of rock cycle?
External processes of the rock cycle include weathering, erosion, transportation, and deposition. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, erosion moves these particles to new locations, transportation carries them further, and deposition involves the settling of these particles to form new rock layers.
What are the main parts of the rock cycle?
(Orogenesis) - Melting, Eruption, Cooling, Crystallization, Solidification. (Diagnesis) - Weathering, Erosion, Transportation, Deposition, Stratification, Cementation, Lithification, Sedimentation. (Metamorphism) - Heating, Pressurization, Stress, Deformation, Recrystallization.
How are the water cycle and earths water related to weathering and erosion?
The rain removes the top soil. It decreases soil's fertility and cause erosion.
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
Sediments form during the erosion and weathering processes that break down rocks into smaller particles. These sediments may then undergo deposition and compaction to form sedimentary rocks in the rock cycle.
The process by which rocks are formed is called?
The process by which rocks are formed is called the rock cycle. This cycle involves the formation, weathering, erosion, deposition, and compaction of rocks over time through various geological processes.
What are the main agents of change in the rock cycle?
The main agents of change in the rock cycle are heat, pressure, weathering, erosion, and deposition. Heat and pressure can transform existing rocks into different types through processes like metamorphism. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, which can then be transported and deposited in new locations to form sedimentary rocks.
How are the Rock Cycle and the Law of Conservation of mass related?
The Rock Cycle and the Law of Conservation of Mass are related because the processes involved in the rock cycle (such as weathering, erosion, and deposition) do not create or destroy matter, they only transform it from one form to another. This is consistent with the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
