What else can I help you with?
Why do many rocks become rounded?
Erosion and weathering will cause rocks to become rounded.
What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
What processes help change metamorphic and igneous rock to sedimentary rocks?
Denudation, Weathering, Erosion, Diagnesis.
When igneous rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure they become what type o rock?
A sedimentary rock is formed when an igneous rock is subjected to weathering, erosion, compaction, and cementation!
What causes the breakdown of rocks?
WEATHERING and EROSION
How Is soil related to the weathering and erosion of rocks?
Soil plays a key role in the weathering and erosion of rocks. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles that contribute to soil formation. Erosion then transports these particles away, impacting the landscape. The composition of soil also influences the rate and extent of weathering and erosion processes.
Is there any difference between erosion and weathering of rocks?
erosion reqiures movement and weathering doesnt
When uplifted rocks reach the earths weathering erosion and deposition begin?
when uplifted rocks reach the Earth's Surface, weathering, erosion, and deposition begin
Weathering and erosion?
To put is simply, weathering is breaking big rocks into small rocks. Erosion is moving those small rocks somewhere else - by wind, water or ice.
What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
What is it called when rocks are broken down by water wind ice and heat?
The process of rocks being broken down by water, wind, ice, and heat is known as weathering. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces over time through physical or chemical means.
Can Igneous be affected by weathering and erosion?
Yes, igneous rocks can be affected by weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, while erosion transports these pieces to new locations. However, due to their high resistance to weathering, igneous rocks are generally more resistant than sedimentary rocks.
How do plants and animals contributes to soil erosion and weathering of rocks?
they POO EROSION
What evidence is there that rocks dissolve?
weathering is the best evidence.all rocks break down when exposed to weathering processes such as erosion
Does weathering and erosion both contribute to the disintegration of rocks?
Yes, weathering is the process that breaks down rocks into smaller fragments, while erosion is the transportation of these fragments. Together, they work to disintegrate rocks.
Are canyons caused by erosion or weathering?
Canyons are mainly caused by erosion, particularly by the action of flowing water from rivers. Weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, can contribute to the process by making rocks more susceptible to erosion.
