What type of rock can weather and wear away?

All rocks can be susceptible to weathering, or erosion by natural (and sometimes manmade) forces. It does not matter if it is sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. Intrusive rocks, below the surface of the Earth's crust, are not as weathered as rocks above the surface (extrusive), which are stripped of sediment and particles more frequently due to water, wind, etc.


Why do most extrusive igneous rocks have small crystals?

Well, isn't that a lovely question. You see, extrusive igneous rocks cool quickly on the Earth's surface, which doesn't give the crystals much time to grow big and strong. Just like how a happy little tree needs time to grow tall and mighty, these rocks don't have that luxury. So, they end up with small, fine crystals that make them unique and beautiful in their own special way.


In the rock cycle what is formed when igneous rocks weather?

Sediment


Compare and contrast igneous and metamorphic rock formation?

Metamorphic rocks are formed by heat and pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed by Lithification. Metamorphic rocks texture depends on how much eat and pressure was exerted on it. Sedimentary rocks texture is usually fine grained. Not much i could find on compare.


When does weathering of rock begin?

The process of weathering (the creation of smaller rock particles from a larger rock body), begins as soon as the rock body is exposed to any cause of weathering. The weathering could start immediately in the case of extrusive igneous rock, which is formed from molten material on the surface, when acid in water chemically attacks the surface. Igneous rock underground can begin to weather simply by the erosion of the rock above it, which releases pressure on it, causing the rock body to expand and fracture.

What are the instrument used to determine your weather?

You could watch TV on the weather channel to get a forecast. However, you can use a weather station to determine your current weather, careful though, some instruments are inaccurate. In order to get accurate measurements, always follow the instructions included with your weather station.


What weather cause a Igneous rock to form?

Igneous rocks form when molten lava or magma cools and solidifies. This can happen during volcanic eruptions, when lava flows onto the Earth's surface and cools rapidly, or when magma cools underground after being intruded into existing rock formations. The specific weather conditions that lead to the formation of igneous rocks are high temperatures associated with volcanic activity or heat from the Earth's interior.


Is there a sentence with the word rock cycle?

Igneous rock can weather and become sedimentary rock . Metamorphic rock can be melted in a volcano and become igneous rock. Igneous rock and sedimentary rock can be heated and pressurized to form metamorphic rock.


What type of rock is made from weathering and erosion?

Sedimentary rock is formed when igneous rocks weather to sediments, then the sediments compact to sedimentary rock. When Igneous rocks are subjected to heat and pressure but do not melt, they become metamorphic rock. When igneous rocks are melted they make other igneous rocks.
