Why rock cycle has no end?
Because nature is always in motion, and the very slow process of the rock cycle never truly grinds to a halt. Therefore, it is a cycle - the seeming end is but only the beginning.
What is the rock cycle including descriptions of how one type of rock can change into another type?
It is called the Rock Cycle.
What is an sentnce using rock cycle?
the rock cycle and the Colorado river are driving forces behind.
How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
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.
How does geologic uplift contribute to the phosphorus cycle?
only when rock layers are exposed through a process called geologic uplift will phosphorus be made available, and then the cycle o weathering can begin again.
What is the continuous process by which one type of rock changes into another?
The rock cycle is the process through which rocks change from one type to another. This process includes melting, metamorphism, uplift, weathering, and burial. Metamorphism is specifically the change of pre-existing rock into new rock through pressure and temperature.
What is the ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle when hot material rising in the Earth generates uplift which in turn promotes erosion?
Radioactive heat
What triggers the rock cycle?
There really is no trigger; it's a process that involves tectonics and its associated plate subductions, uplift, and volcanism, along with weathering, erosion, and lithification of sediments.
What process did James Hulton propose replenishes the rock on earth surface?
James Hutton was a geologist and naturalist who was against the theory of evolution. He proposed that the process of uplift replenishes the rock on the Earth's surface.
The rock cycle is a WHAT and dynamic process?
The Rock cycle is a continuous and dynamic process
What is the position of rock layers?
uplift
Uplift can occur during the rock cycle?
I don't want to answer the question I just want thwe answer
What process did James Hutton propose replenishes the rock on Earths surface?
Uplift
What process changes a sedimentary rock change into an igneos rock?
Sedimentary rocks are formed in three basic ways: by physical processes, by plants and animals,and by chemical processes. The Sedimentary rock can be form into the igneous rock by five ways. They are as followed: uplift, eroison, transport, depostion, and lithification. You would be more likely to look at the rock cycle in the online dictionary of Wikipedia for the rock cycle.
What pathway in the rock cycle might rock take next if it is subjected to uplift?
It will start to experience chemical and mechanical weathering, along with erosion.
Which process in the rock cycle causes magma to form?
Melting is the process in the rock cycle that causes magma to form.
