Is weathing a natural prosses?
Yes, weathering is a natural process that involves the breaking down of rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface due to exposure to various environmental factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes. It occurs over time through physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are rocks made out of matter that was never living?
Some rocks are made of matter that was never living (e.g. meteoric rocks, igneous rocks, moon rocks) and some rocks are made of matter that was once part of living things (e.g. limestone rocks, marble rocks, iron ore rocks) and some rocks might be a mixture of matter that was never living and matter that was once part of living things (e.g. sandstone rocks, mudstone rocks, shale rocks, slate rocks).
What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
What process helps change metamorphic and igneous rocks into sedimentary rocks?
Weathing and erosion.
How does water cause weathering of rocks in mountain ranges?
Three types of weathing
A sentence with mechanical weathering?
the process in which rocks or material is weathered without changing the composition'
Can temperatures break down rocks?
Yes. Temperature changes, water, wind, pressure changes, plant and animal action, and gravity are all agents of physical weathing.
One type of physical is caused by the wind?
weathing
What is mechanical weathing?
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments without changing the rock's mineral composition. It occurs through physical processes like frost wedging, abrasion, and root growth. Over time, these actions cause rocks to break down into smaller pieces.
How does water and temperature work together to cause weathing?
Water and temperature interact to cause weathering through a process called thermal expansion and contraction. When water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on surrounding rocks and causing them to crack. As temperatures rise, rocks expand and contract, leading to further weathering and breaking down of rocks. Additionally, water can seep into cracks in rocks, freeze, expand, and break the rocks apart through a process known as frost wedging.

What is the difference between weathring and erosion?
well yea it is weathing is weather and erison is like rock so ya anser is u slef
What are the two most famous landmarks that have changed because of weathing and erosion?
The Grand Canyon, Devil's Tower in Wyoming, Serpent Mound in Ohio, the Needles in South Dakota.
Name 2 forces that changed physical features of Asia.?
There are several forces that formed the Asia we know. Builder, erosion, and weathing forces have effected the land and are still changing this vast region.
What is water - rock interations on weathering?
Transporting is a key and at high temp (100-300 deg c) of water changing the rock. water is great at weathing because its has great solution properties.
