Can a harder rock erode more quicker then a softer rock?
No, harder rocks generally erode more slowly than softer rocks because they are more resistant to weathering and abrasion. Soft rocks tend to be more easily worn away by wind, water, and other environmental factors.
Why do rocks erode at different rates?
Rocks erode at different rates depending on factors such as composition, hardness, and environmental conditions. Soft rocks erode more quickly than hard rocks because they are more easily weathered by elements like wind and water. Additionally, the presence of minerals in the rock can affect its susceptibility to erosion.
What is going to happen to the soft rock on a cliff?
Soft rock on a cliff is susceptible to erosion from factors such as wind, rain, and waves. Over time, the soft rock may weather and erode, potentially leading to rockfalls or collapses. The rate of erosion depends on various factors, such as the type of rock, climate, and presence of vegetation.
What are comparative and superlative for soft?
I think it's softer and the softest
Why is it important to know and understand the qualities of various rock types?
If the rock is a soft one it will weather faster if it is a hard rock it will take longer to weather
Can a harder rock erode more quicker then a softer rock?
No, harder rocks generally erode more slowly than softer rocks because they are more resistant to weathering and abrasion. Soft rocks tend to be more easily worn away by wind, water, and other environmental factors.
Why in a thousand years could a lump of igneous rock stand will above the rest of the landscape?
Igneous rock is hard. If the surrounding rock is softer it will erode more quickly. Sedimentary rocks in particular can be very soft.
What is an example of differential weathering?
An example of differential weathering is when a rock formation is composed of both hard and soft layers. Over time, the softer layers erode more quickly, creating uneven surfaces or features like hoodoos in sedimentary rock formations.

Do steep hills erode faster than gentle hills?
Steep Hill Erodes Faster. The Water Picks Up Speed And More Energy To Wear Away The Earth. Generally, hills will be steep because they are made of resistant rock; whereas gentle hills will have that shape because they are made of rock that is easily eroded. Hence steep hills will not necessarily erode faster than gentle ones. However, if a hill is steep because it has recently been formed by tectonic activity, and it comprises soft rock, it will erode faster than a more gentle hill of the same material.
How was Durdle Door formed?
Durdle Door was formed by erosion of the soft rock. The sea eroded the soft rock until it reached the limestone where it couldn't erode it leaving an arch.
As soft as?
softer, softest
As soft as a what?
softer
What rock is Angel Falls made out of?
The one where that one hott dude from heaven landed!!! :)
How did wave erosion create a headland?
Wave erosion creates a headland by wearing away softer rock layers faster than harder rock layers, forming a promontory that juts out into the sea. The relentless action of waves pounding against the headland erodes the softer rock, while the harder rock remains more resistant, leading to the formation of a distinctive landform.
What is going to happen to the soft rock on a cliff?
Soft rock on a cliff is susceptible to erosion from factors such as wind, rain, and waves. Over time, the soft rock may weather and erode, potentially leading to rockfalls or collapses. The rate of erosion depends on various factors, such as the type of rock, climate, and presence of vegetation.
If waves erode the soft rock along the base of a steep coast the result may eventually be a landform called a .?
Wave-cut cliff
