When a hammer break s a large rock into smaller pieces the broken rock is on example of what kind of change?
phyiscal change
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
Which process is involved in breaking down solid rock and turning it into sediment?
The process involved in breaking down solid rock into sediment is called weathering. Weathering can occur through physical (mechanical) processes such as abrasion and frost wedging, as well as chemical processes such as dissolution and oxidation. These processes help to break down the rock into smaller particles, eventually forming sediment.
What is the changing of solid rock to molten rock?
The changing of solid rock to molten rock is known as melting. This occurs when rocks are exposed to high temperatures, causing the minerals within the rock to break down and transform into liquid form. Once melted, the rock can then cool and solidify into new rock formations.
What can wear away the solid rock of a cliff over time?
Erosion caused by wind, water, ice, and chemical processes can gradually wear away solid rock on a cliff over time. These natural forces break down the rock into smaller particles, eventually causing the cliff to erode and change in shape.
What does the term parent rock refer to?
sometimes rocks break off into pices the rock the pices came from is known as the parent rock
What process break solid rock into smaller?
Erosion Construction

How does solid rock break into smaller pieces?
Solid rocks break into smaller pieces because weathering could take bits and pieces of the rock. Then erosion carries the rock to some were else. Finally deposition will drop the rock in that place were the erosion brought it.
Can rocks still be considered solids if they can break into smaller bits?
yes they can be a rock will never turn in to air or water or anything rather then a solid rock is rock as rock
When a hammer break s a large rock into smaller pieces the broken rock is on example of what kind of change?
phyiscal change
How do rocks break into smaller pieces?
You smash a rock with a bigger rock
Where in a soil profile is solid rock being weathered into soil?
The process of solid rock being weathered into soil typically occurs in the parent material layer of the soil profile, which is the layer closest to the unaltered bedrock. Weathering processes, whether physical or chemical, gradually break down the solid rock into smaller particles to form the soil.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
How does freezing and thawing cause rocks to break into smaller pieces?
Water manages to get into a crack in a rock, and with cold temperatures, freezes. When transferring from a liquid to a solid, the molecules of water expand by crystallization, widening the crack in the rock.
What does rock particles mean?
All of these changes break rocks into smaller pieces called rock particles
