What makes glaciers act like giant sandpaper?
The rocks and pebbles embedded in the ice. When these rocks and pebbles are on the bottom surface of the glacier they are dragged over the surface of the ground, cutting into it (whether it is soil or hard bedrock) cutting grooves in and polishing that surface. Much like the grit glued to sandpaper does to a surface it is rubbed against.
Is crushing rocks a chemical property or physical property?
Crushing rocks is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the rocks. It only alters their physical state or appearance.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
How do you think magma turns into extrusive igneous rocks?
When melted rock material cool's on earth's surface, it makes Extrusive Igneous Rock.
What makes up the surface of Earth?
The surface of the Earth is primarily composed of rock and soil. Rocks are made up of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Soil consists of a mixture of organic matter, minerals, air, and water.
What makes up the surface of mercury?
rocks and gases mostly rocks
What factors control rocks returning to earths surface and becoming magma?
the heat of the volcano makes the rocks heat. the heat is the rocks the volcano blew up. now the rocks are a red hot liquid, the rocks rise to the surface because of the heat, it pops open the volcano top and makes a new island.
What produced extrusive igneous rocks?
lava, because it forms outside of Earth's surface and makes rocks that harden
What makes a fault different from other kinds of fractures in rocks?
Rocks on either side of a fault move along the surface of the fault.

Facts about sedimentary rocks?
95or all fossils found. Sedimentary rock makes up ¾ of the earth's surface.
Why do Small rocks weather more quickly then large rocks?
Small rocks have a higher surface area to volume ratio, which exposes more of their surface to weathering processes like erosion and chemical reactions. This increased exposure makes them more prone to breaking down or weathering quickly compared to larger rocks.

What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?
Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
What rock is earths surface made up of?
The Earth's surface is made up of various types of rocks, primarily igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. The most abundant rock type is basalt, which makes up the oceanic crust, while granite is common in continental crust. Additionally, sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone are also found on the Earth's surface.
