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.
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
What are the similarities between biological weathering and chemical weathering?
Weathering is weathering, no matter how it occurs. Both chemical and biological weathering wear down rock. They simply go about it in different ways.
What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
Which process involves removal of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity?
Erosion it also means abrasion, which does with weathering
What is wearing away and removal of rock materials?
This is called erosion.
What are the 2 main types of weathering?
The two main types of weathering are physical weathering and chemical weathering. Physical weathering involves water, wind and dust scraping away at rocks, while chemical weathering involves chemicals, usually acids, breaking down the rock.
What type of weathering involves water filling cracks in a rock?
frost wedging
How does erosion differnfrom weathering?
Erosion is the removal of the topsoil either by water or wind, while weathering is the break down of rock to form soil.
What process involves the removal of rock particles by wind water ice or gravity?
The process of removing rock particles by wind, water or ice is called erosion. This can also be the removal of enamel from teeth by acid (acid erosion). To be more precise, this is weathering process of the rock where in the rock is broken into small particles by natural forces like wind, water, ice or gravity to get it eroded.
What Is geologe?
When a mass of rock is exposed by weathering and by removal of the overlying rock there is a decrease in the confining pressure on the rock, and a slight expansion of the rock volume. This unloading promotes cracking of the rock – known as exfoliation - and the development of cracks leads to other kinds of weathering.
The process called involves physical forces that break rock into pieces.?
That would be mechanical weathering
What is geologic exfoliation?
When a mass of rock is exposed by weathering and by removal of the overlying rock there is a decrease in the confining pressure on the rock, and a slight expansion of the rock volume. This unloading promotes cracking of the rock – known as exfoliation - and the development of cracks leads to other kinds of weathering.
The process called involves physical forces that break rock into smaller pieces?
That would be mechanical weathering
What type of weathering involves the decomposition of rock as minerals react with substances such as oxgenwater and acids?
Hydrolisis,freeze-thaw, chemical weathering, wetting and drying, etc
Which weathering process results from the removal of minerals in soil or rock by water filtering down through the soil?
exfoliation
