Yes, the standard penetration test (SPT) can be conducted on rock surfaces by drilling boreholes using a rotary or rotary-percussive drilling rig, driving a split-barrel sampler into the rock at the bottom of the borehole, and then using a hammer to collect rock samples at various depths. The number of blows required for penetration is recorded and used to determine the rock's strength and engineering properties.

What experiments do geologists conduct?
I suppose hardness and density tests on rock samples. Making seismic soundings and measuring the results, analyzing the data collected.
Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface?
The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath the earth's surface are not the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earth's surface because the processes of the rock cycle beneath the earth surface and above the earth surface are diffferent.
What name is given to molten rock on the surface of the earth?
Molten rock on the surface of the Earth is called lava.
How a rocks surface looks and feels is the rocks what?
Texture is the word used to describe a rock's constituent mineral size and arrangement, visible on a freshly fractured surface. Because a rock's surface can be weathered to a smooth or polished surface, the way it feels is not usually included in a description of texture.
What is molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface?
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava

What is the definition of a sinkhole?
A hole formed in soluble rock by the action of water, serving to conduct surface of water to an underground passage.

What do pile load tests determine?
In simple words, It basically determines the load bearing capacity of rock below the earth surface. If soil is weal enough that it can not support the load, then we bore below earth and find out rock location and conduct pile load testing to measure load bearing capacity. For example, pile foundation are provided are provided in highway bridge foundations if soil is weak...... Geotechnical Engineering.......
When melted rock cools or hardens on it under earths surface it forms rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
When melted rock cools or hardens on or under earth's surface it forms what rock?
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
Which will cool faster a rock cooled underground or on the surface?
A rock at the surface will cool faster than a rock underground.
The earth's surface is what on molten rock?
Molten rock on the Earth's surface is called lava.
What do geologists observe when studying a rock sample?
Geologists observe the color, texture, mineral composition, and structure of a rock sample to determine its formation process, age, and geological history. They may also conduct tests to analyze the chemical composition and physical properties of the rock.
What is the surface of the earth made of?
rock rock
