What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
How are weathering erosion and deposition related to the rock cycle?
by weathering
What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
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 is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
Is erosion in the rock cycle?
erosion is the tranportation of wheatherd rocks
What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
How does erosion effect the rock cycle?
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
What happen to the rock cycle if erosion did not occur?
First of all, there would be no rock cycle.
What will happen to the rock cycle if erosion did not occur?
First of all, there would be no rock cycle.
What starts with an e and has to do with the rock cycle?
erosion
What is rock erosion?
the rock cycle includes what three types of rocks
When do sediments form during the rock cycle?
after erosion
What would happen to the rock if erosion did not occur?
There Would No longer Be a Rock Cycle :(
What step in the rock cycle creates the sediment from which sedimentary rock is formed?
erosion
What combination of process can transform a metormorphic rock to sediments?
Exposure, weathering, and erosion can transform a metamorphic rock into sediments.
In the rock cycle the process by which an igneous rock changes to a sedimentary rock must begin with?
erosion
