How is Marsden Rock formed?
Marsden Rock is a sea stack formed from the softer rock eroding away over time due to coastal erosion, leaving behind a column of harder rock. The action of waves, wind, and weathering gradually shaped the formation into the distinct pillar-like structure we see today.
What is the difference between a sill and a laccolith?
A sill is a horizontal sheet of igneous rock that is intruded between existing rock layers, while a laccolith is a dome-shaped intrusion that causes the overlying rock layers to arch upwards. Sills are flat and parallel to existing rock layers, while laccoliths are typically lens-shaped and create bulges in the rock layers above them.
What causes waterfalls?
When the water in a river wares down the rock under it it forms a gap to an area where there isn't useally water this can happen in small streams or in huge rivers. Cliffs are also a main part of this when the water drops over it forming a waterfall.
Why is phosphorus primary nutrient?
because it follows the phosphorus rock cycle.
Chimney rock was formed from what type of erosion?
Chimney Rock was formed by differential erosion, which is the process of some rock layers eroding more quickly than others due to variations in their resistance to weathering and erosion. Over time, this differential erosion shaped the distinctive spire-like structure of Chimney Rock.
What does wind eroding rock deposit?
it deposits dust and other molecule found in the rock
What do sand and boulders have in common?
They are both eroding rock particles.
What does not act as agent for eroding rock and transporting sediment?
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Other forces in nature do not act in the same way, for example, lava.
What causes wide river channels?
by erosion eroding the banks and beds of a river
When a rock is placed in a container will it take on the shape of the container?
No, rock is a stable solid whose shape can only be changed by cutting, eroding, or grinding.
How can caves form by erosion?
The water bashes against the rock and throws little rocks at the big rock eroding away the big rock causing a cave x

What dug the Grand Canyon?
a stream eroding the rock
What are the two primary causes of lithification?
The two primary causes of lithification are compaction, where sediments are squeezed together by the weight of overlying layers, and cementation, where minerals precipitate and bind sediment grains together. These processes transform loose sediment into solid rock.
What landform is the result of water eroding soft rock?
The answer is Waterfalls because it is leaving harder rock for the water to spill over. Also a gorge, a sink hole, and a cave.
What causes a rock to change in to a metamphic rock?
The application of heat and / or pressure causes a rock to be transformed into a metamorphic rock.
What size of rock can wind erode?
well, think about it, wind can erode ALL size of rocks, wind does its job, which is eroding rocks.
