What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
Which layer of the earth is completely solid?
the earth's inner core is solid, and the crust is solid, obviously, because we can walk on it.
Why does the inner core remain solid even though the temperature is hot enough to melt the metal?
The pressure (due to gravity) in the center of the Earth is so great, that it compresses the otherwise molten metal alloy - to a solid.
What is small solid particles of material from rocks or organisms which are broken down by erosion or deposition is called?
Sedimentary Rock
What Solid element or compound is found in the earth?
Diamond is the hardest materail in the world
Solid piece of earth constantly broken down by erosion?
Face?
What is the ratio of mass to volume of each broken piece or set of pieces?
If the pieces came from a solid object of uniform density then the ratio is the same for each piece. But if not, the ratios need to be calculated separately.
What does the theory of plate tectonics state about the earth's surface?
What does the theory of plate tectonics state about the earth's surface? A. one solid piece B. broken into many pieces C. very thick compared to the mantle D. mostly covered in water explain.
What is the large piece of the solid part of the earth called?
The large piece of the solid part of the earth is called a tectonic plate
Which are pieces solid?
a solid is a hard piece of something which particles are stuck together but shake an u cant poor a solid out from a cup like a liquid.
What are pieces of solid material that have been depositioned on earth's surface?
Meteorites.
If you cut a solid in two pieces does the mass change?
The total mass remain unchanged but each piece has its mass.
How does breaking an object affect density?
1. If it's a solid object, broken into solid pieces, no effect. 2. I'm trying to think of any other scenario, and can't.
What is the meaning of chunking?
A chunk is a large, solid piece of something, broken, not cut or shaped, and usually roughly cubic in shape.
What are the normal results of fracture repair?
the body begins to produce new tissue to bridge the broken pieces. At first, this tissue (called a callus) is soft and easily injured. Later, the body deposits bone minerals until the callus becomes a solid piece of bone
When a hammer break s a large rock into smaller pieces the broken rock is on example of what kind of change?
phyiscal change
Science of the structure of the earth?
The crust is not a solid shell; it is broken into huge, thick plates that float on the liquid mantle.
