What else can I help you with?
What igneous rocks that form from magna cools slowly?
Intrusive igneous rocks, like granite.
What is erosion and what are the common types?
Erosion is the process by which soil and rocks are broken down and transported by wind, water, or ice. Common types of erosion include water erosion (caused by rainfall and runoff), wind erosion (caused by wind carrying away soil particles), and glacier erosion (caused by glaciers picking up and moving rocks and debris).
Does wind break rock down?
Yes . The effects of sand and soil blown by wind are one of the processes called weathering, in which erosion occurs.
Do intrusive rocks have large crystals because they cool quickly?
No. Intrusive igneous rocks have large crystals because they cool slowly.
What type of crystal gain that forms when molten rocks cool slowly?
Intrusive
You are a large mass of frozen water you can move rocks and boulders you move very slowly but you cause great chamges on earth what are you?
You are a glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move over land, picking up and carrying rocks and boulders as they go. Over time, glaciers can cause significant changes to Earth's landscape through processes like erosion and deposition.
What is the word for large sheets ice moving slowly over the land that grind rocks and transport material?
The word you want is glacier.
Why is wind an agent of erosion?
Wind can pick up small aggregates and soil particles and displace them in another soil series. Wind can also erode rocks by picking up particles of sand that then slowly erode at the exposed rocks.
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
What is the picking up and moving of rocks called?
The process of picking up and moving rocks is called rock lifting or rock relocation.
What are unfoliated rocks?
Unfoliated or Non-foliated rocks are Metamorprhic rocks that are compact, hard and do not occur in sheets or layers.
Tests for rocks for revetment?
revent is a blue twig used for picking your nose
Why does rocks get damaged?
Rocks wear away because slowly,wind/water take away tiny pieces of dust and slowly it gets worn away.
How is glacier a source of both weathering and erosion?
Glaciers move (very slowly) therefore functioning as a source of erosion. They are also a source of weathering "in situ" due to their freeze/thaw cycles causing expansion/contraction of adjacent stone, causing physical deformation.
What is the carrying of rocks and soil from one place to another?
Erosion
Can you put exfoliation which is rocks weathering by peeling off in sheets in a sentence?
Yes.
Sheets of igneous rock that cut across other rocks layers?
Dykes.
