What else can I help you with?
Science that studies rocks and weather?
The science that studies rocks is geology, while the study of weather is meteorology. These two fields often overlap in studying how rocks and weather interact with each other in the Earth's systems.
What does SG stand for in rocks and minerals?
Specific Gravity
What is chemical weathering of rocks?
Where rocks get either smoothed out or layers taken of by the weather.
Gravity pulls rocks and soil rapidly down a hillside causing what?
Gravity pulling rocks and soil down a hillside rapidly can cause landslides or rockslides. These events can be destructive, leading to damage to property, infrastructure, and posing risks to human life in the affected areas. Factors such as weather, slope steepness, and soil composition can contribute to the occurrence of such events.
Why do you think weather is used to refer to the breakdown of rocks?
Weathering is the process of breaking down rocks into smaller pieces through physical or chemical means. This term is used because the rocks are gradually "worn down" by the elements of weather, such as rain, wind, and temperature changes. Over time, these weathering forces can cause rocks to crumble and erode.
Do rocks have gravity?
No, rocks do not have gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that exists between all objects with mass, including rocks. Rocks are subject to the force of gravity, just like any other object on Earth.
What kind of weather can break up rocks?
All weather can and will break up rocks.
Will there be soil if rocks do not weather?
No.
How do rocks stay on the moon without gravity?
The moon has gravity, but it is much weaker than Earth's gravity. Rocks on the moon stay on the surface due to the moon's gravitational pull, which is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This weaker gravity allows rocks to stay in place on the moon despite being less massive than on Earth.
Why don't lunar rocks chemically weather?
No atmosphere-no weather.
What keeps rocks in place?
Gravity and friction.
What pushes and pulls on rocks?
gravity Du
What unknown force has arranged the rocks?
gravity
What is Japan weather is?
madeline rocks
Does gravity or wind quickly pulls rocks and dirt downhill in a landslide?
Gravity is the primary force that causes rocks and dirt to move downhill in a landslide. Wind can contribute to the movement of loose material, but gravity is the dominant force in causing landslides.
What is the process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
Erosion.
Does water break down rocks?
Water can chemically weather rocks by dissolving minerals, water can also physically weather rocks by fracturing them by hydraulic pressure or frost wedging.
