What else can I help you with?
Why would you not find sedimentary rocks on the moon?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
What must happen for a new moon to occur?
For a new moon to occur the moon must be between earth and the sun
Do thunderstorms occur on the moon?
No. The moon has no atmosphere.
What causes erosion to occur magnets or glaciers?
Magnets do not play any role in erosion. Glaciers are ony of many things that cause erosion.
What phase of the moon is there a solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse only can occur at the time of the New Moon,but doesn't occur at the large majority of them.
Do weathering and erosion occur on the Moon?
No because there is no wind or water on the moon
Can both erosion and weathering occur on the moon or other planets?
Erosion and weathering are processes that can occur on the Moon and other planets with atmospheres. On bodies without an atmosphere like the Moon, other processes like micrometeoroid impacts and solar wind can cause surface modifications that are analogous to erosion and weathering.
Do weathering erosion and deposition occur on the moon?
Weathering and erosion do not occur on the Moon due to lack of atmosphere and liquid water. However, there is some deposition due to impact events from meteoroids and micrometeoroids that create craters and affect the surface.
Why does erosion not occur on the moon?
Erosion on Earth is largely driven by processes such as water, wind, and ice, which are absent on the Moon. The Moon lacks a significant atmosphere and flowing water to wear down its surface. Without these agents of erosion, the Moon's surface remains relatively unchanged over long periods of time.
Why does erosion occur on the moon?
Erosion on the Moon is mainly caused by micrometeorite impacts, solar wind, and the occasional asteroid collision. The lack of atmosphere and flowing water means that these processes are the dominant forces shaping the lunar surface.
Erosion does not occur on the moon like it does on Earth because the moon has no?
Air, water, wind, rain, weather, snow, etc. None of those.
Does the Moon have no atmosphere?
This is correct. The moon has no atmosphere. This fact, along with the fact that thus far, no evidence of water has been found on the moon, contributes to the reason why rock erosion does not occur on the moon.
Why there no rain in the surface of the moon?
Due to the Moon's low gravity, it cannot hold in an atmosphere, meaning it cannot have weather. This means erosion cannot occur, making craters, footsteps, etc. never disappear. It also means it cannot rain at all on the Moon.
Does the Moon have weathering or erosion?
No weather on Moon.
Why would you not find sedimentary rocks on the moon?
Sedimentary rocks are formed by the weathering, erosion and then deposition of the resultant clasts. Weathering and erosion do not occur on the moon (except to a limited extent due to the impact of meteorites but this material is not compacted so is a dust rather than a rock) so sedimentary rocks can't form.
What are 4 ways that erosion can occur?
Erosion can occur through water erosion (rivers, waves), wind erosion (blowing sand and soil), glacial erosion (movement of ice), and chemical erosion (dissolving of rocks by acids).
What kind of erosion occur in the grand canyon?
water erosion
