The water table.
What is the upper surface of area where all the pores in a rock are filled with water?

Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
How does the surface area of a rock affect the rate of weathering.?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.

Does a smaller rock a have higher or lower percentage of surface area than a larger rock?
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!

If an area is covered in igneous rock what can you tell about that areas past?
The area would have had; a) a plutonic intrusion underneath the surface rock, and the surface rock had eroded away, or b) previous volcanic eruption(s).
Why is increased surface area important in the small intestines?
Simply put, larger surface area allows for more digestive process to occur.
What is surface area important for living things?
Because, Living things need surface area to survive
Why is surface are important for living things?
Area*
What is the area rock immediately above a fault surface?
hanging wall
Why is it important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area?
It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê
What is an area where molten rock from under the earth is able to approach the surface?
A vulcano.
How do the amount of a rock's surface area affect its rate of weathering?
the speed get high
How does the amount surface area affect the rate of weathering?
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
