What types of rocks weather?
All types of rocks can weather over time, but some may weather more easily than others. For example, sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone are more susceptible to weathering compared to igneous rocks like granite due to variations in their mineral composition and structure. However, even highly resistant rocks, if exposed to the elements long enough, will eventually break down through processes like mechanical weathering and chemical weathering.
Does igneous rocks absorb water?
igneous rocks do absorb water because of all the pores ,cracks, and holes in them. The holes will absorb the water and the water will get trapped in the rock there for igneous rocks do absorb water.
Why do different rocks weather at different rates?
Depending on the minerals in their composition, some rocks are harder than others. Rocks that contain minerals with higher ratings on the Mohs scale are harder, and would erode more slowly than other rocks.
What chemicals are Venus made from?

Is there water beneath the crust of earth?

Do all rocks weather the same way?
Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.
Why do weather rocks have rust streaks?
Some weathered rocks have rust streaks due to the iron content in the rocks. When rocks that have ferrous iron are weathered there will be rust streaks present.
Are there rocks under water?
Yes. That is why some rivers have rapids. Water going over rocks create them.
What rocks can absorb water?
Some rocks that are known to absorb water include sandstone, limestone, and shale. These rocks have interconnected pore spaces that allow water to be drawn in and stored within their structure.
Do rocks contain water in them?
Yes some do
If you dig deep in the ground in UK do you get hot rocks or water?
At some depths you will get water. At some depths you will get hot rocks. All depends on location.
What kinds of rocks are changed by weathering?
All rocks are changed, but it depends on the density. A smooth, hard volcanic rock may take a while to weather because it has less friction, but a bumpy less dense rock may weather faster. However, all rocks wear down by means such as human touching, water, wind, or friction with other rocks. For example in tourist caves some rocks have become smooth from the human touch repeated over and over.
Do igneous rocks let water in?
Some do some don't.
Sentence with weathering?
Weathering of rocks happen as a result of (1) mechanical action of water and wind, (2) chemical action of substances when they combine, and (3) some activities of people and animals.
How does matter in rocks change to matter in water?
Water can dissolve some of the matter found in rocks. Also, through the alternating processes of freezing and melting, water can cause pieces of rocks to fall into it.
