What must happen for the quarts to separate from the granite rock and become sediments?
The granite has to be weathered, and then the resulting material has to be eroded and subjected to a process that sorts the quartz grains from the other minerals in the granite. Quartz grains tend to be harder than other clasts in weathered granite, so they tend to remain intact while mica and feldspar are reduced to a fine clay. The quartz sand may then settle out of water where the clay does not, or be left behind when the clay blows away in the wind.
What else can I help you with?
What would have to happen to granite for it to become a sedimentary rock?
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.
What can happen to a sedimentary rock once it's formed?
it can turn into molten rock it can be heated and pressured and turn into metamorphic it can weather and turn to sediments
What happen to all of the girls on the descent movie?
all of the girls become corrupt
Is Norway in Sweden?
Norway and Sweden are two separate, sovereign countries that happen to be neighbors in the region known as Scandinavia.
How do summers happen?
Summers happen because the world is tilted and when it reaches a certain point whilst orbiting the sun, the part that its facing i.e. Britain, will become hotter than what its not i.e. Australia
What would have to happen to granite for it to become a sedimentary rock?
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.
What would happen to large sediments if you were to continue moving?
if you were to continue moving the bottle for a long time what would happen to the large sediments?
What will happen to sediments in a million years?
In a million years, sediments may undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock. They may also be uplifted due to tectonic forces and weathered into smaller particles. Overall, the sedimentary cycle will continue as new sediments are deposited on top of older ones over time.
What will happen to the Holy city if Israel and Palestine become two separate states?
They will fight over it
What will battery terminals cause to happen?
granite
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What would happen to a metamorphic rock that was wheathered and broken down into sediments?
The sediments made of the metamorphic rock would turn into sedimentary rock.
What will happen to the thickness of a bed of sediment when it is compacted and why?
As fluids and spaces between particles are squeezed out by the weight of overlying sediments, the particles become closer to each other, thus flattening the thickness of the strata.
What would happen if you put granite in water?
it will goes under the water.
What must happen to sediments before they become sedimentary rocks?
Sediments must undergo the processes of compaction and cementation to become sedimentary rocks. Compaction occurs when the sediments are squeezed together by the weight of overlying materials, reducing pore spaces. Cementation involves the precipitation of minerals between sediment grains, binding them together to form a solid rock.
What will happen to every lake over time?
They will fill up with silt and sediments.
What happen when you polish granite?
When you polish granite, you remove the outer layer of the stone to reveal a smooth, glossy finish. This process enhances the natural beauty of the stone and helps to bring out the unique colors and patterns in the granite. Additionally, polishing granite can make it more resistant to stains and scratches.
