What else can I help you with?
Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
it gets weathered into sediment, then it gets washed into the ocean, sediment layers up over millions of years, and it gets squashed into sedimentery rock, then metamorphic and so on.
What is the peeling of large curve sheets from a rock called?
The peeling of large curved sheets from a rock is called "exfoliation." This geological process occurs due to the expansion and contraction of rock layers as temperatures change, often exacerbated by weathering. Exfoliation results in the formation of thin, curved slabs or sheets that detach from the underlying rock. It is commonly observed in granite formations, where the outer layers can peel away, revealing the smoother surfaces beneath.
What is called the process that splits rock through freezing and thawing is called?
Freeze Thaw is one of the two physical weathering. Freeze thaw is a process were the water gets into the gaps or cracks of the rock. Over the night the Water freezes and then expands, the result the rock eventually breaks.
WHAT IS THE process were bits of rock in streams get smaller and rounder?
The process of bits of rock getting smaller and rounder in streams is called abrasion. It occurs as the rocks get continuously moved and collide with each other and the streambed, wearing away their edges and corners. Over time, this results in smoother and more rounded rocks.
Is abrasion an example of the surface of a rock becomes smoother as sand blows past it?
Yes, because abrasion is the grinding away of rock by other rock or sand particles. Water also causes abrasion when it carries sand and rocks that scrape against other rock.
What nicknames does Tim Raines go by?
Tim Raines goes by Rock, and Purple.
What is a weathered rock?
A weathered rock is a rock that has been broken down or altered by processes such as wind, water, and temperature changes over time. This weathering can cause the rock to become smoother, rounded, or even break apart into smaller pieces.
Molten rock at the surface is?
When you have a volcano the molten rock is called Magma when it is inside the volcano but when it gets out of the volcano it changes name to Lava.
The surface of a rock becomes smoother as sand blows past it?
abrasion
The surface of a rock becomes smoother as sand blows past it what is this an example of?
Abrasion
What process changes a rock into a sedimentary rock?
it gets really hot and gets washed through the sea and gets all put together and creates the rock
How would a sandblasted rock differ from a rock that hasn't been sandblasted?
A sandblasted rock would appear smoother and have a more uniform texture compared to a rock that hasn't been sandblasted. The surface of the sandblasted rock would also likely be lighter in color due to the removal of outer layers of the rock.
What is an example of mechanical wheathering?
an example of mechanical weathering is called ice wedging. it is when water gets into a small crack in rock then freeze and expand breaking the rock.
What is melted rock?
Melted rock is that hasn't surfaced is "Magma".If the melted rock already has surfaced, it is called "Lava".
Can a sedimentary rock turn into igneous rock?
