Which of the following forms when rocks are weathered and eroded?
Sedimentary rock
When a rock above a cave collapses it forms a what?
When rock above a cave collapses, a sinkhole is formed.
When granite is weathered and eroded what rock does it become?
Granite typically weathers and erodes into smaller pieces and ultimately changes into sedimentary rock, often forming sandstone or clay minerals through the process of sedimentation and lithification.
Is there a pathway through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?
Yes, when igneous rock (magma) has solidified and then gets subsequently eroded, the eroded particules can get blown or washed into rivers for example, and then can form sedimentary rocks further down the chain.
What is a cavern called that is a natural cavity in rock?
sedimentary rocks usually (limestone is the most common). they are very easily eroded away leaving a cavern or series of caves tunneling for miles interconnecting. This is very common in Missouri whom has thousands of caves due to its vast supply of limestone
Which of the following forms when rocks are weathered and eroded?
Sedimentary rock
How are cave arch stack and stump made?
the sea erodes the rock facing out to sea with corrasion etc this form a cave in the rock this gets bigger until it goes all the way through the rock to the other side - this causes an arch after a while the rock above the arch loses support and the rock left over standing in the sea is a stack when this falls over and gets eroded more, it forms a stump
What type of rock forms from layering of eroded rock?
Sedimentary rock forms from the layering of eroded rock material, which accumulates and undergoes compaction and cementation over time. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Is the grotto in Portland a cave?
no it is rock thet has been eroded over millions of years to form CHOCOLATE
What are five land forms that are produced by wave erosion?
Sea cliffs: Steep rock faces along the coastline that are eroded by the constant force of waves. Sea caves: Hollowed-out spaces in coastal cliffs where waves have worn away softer rock layers. Wave-cut platforms: Flat, rocky areas at seashore level that are created by the gradual erosion of cliffs. Arch: A natural rock formation where a sea cave has eroded completely through a headland, leaving a bridge-like structure. Stack: A tall, isolated pillar of rock that is left standing as the surrounding cliff is eroded by waves.
What is formed when rock above a cave collapses it forms a?
When rock above a cave collapses, a sinkhole is formed.
Is metamorphic rock weather proof?
No rock is "weather proof." All forms of rock will eventually be worn away (eroded) by the action of the weather.
When the rock above a cave collapses forms a what?
It is called weathering.
What is it called when a cave has eroded all the way through?
Through... what? It's still a cave, unless so short relative to its diameter that it can be called a Rock Arch. There are caves that pass right through hills, sometimes because the land surface has been eroded down across the passage (common in the tropical karst of SE Asia). In places a riverhas cut a cave down below its a valley floor then popped out again somewhere down-valley, leaving the intervening part of of its valley high and dry. I can think of quite a number here in Britain. Through-trip caves are quite common in some areas, where a system has several entrances. In fact the water has eroded its way all the way to the rising even if the lower reaches are not humanly-enterable in size.
Is a cave weathering or erosion?
A cave is typically formed through a combination of weathering and erosion. Weathering breaks down the rock material, while erosion removes it, creating a void in the rock that can develop into a cave over time.
How do geographical stacks form?
The cliff face is eroded by hydraulic action, which over time forms a cave. The back and roof of the cave is then eroded until it breaks through the headland forming an arch. Further erosion on the arch causes it to collapse, thus forming the stack. More erosion on the stack will cause it to form a stump.
What determines the sequence of events in the rock cycle?
weather the rock is weather, eroded, or goes through deposition.
