What else can I help you with?
What will happen if more of a rock's surface is exposed?
More of it will be weathered and eroded.
What are two things that can happen to eroded rock?
Eroded rock can either be transported by water or wind to new locations, where it may settle and form new sedimentary rock layers. Alternatively, eroded rock can be broken down further into smaller particles and eventually become part of the soil composition.
What must happen to a rock for it to become a metamorphic rock?
It must melt.
What did wave rock look like before it was a wave?
Before it was eroded into its current wave-like shape, Wave Rock in Hyden, Australia looked like a typical granite rock outcrop with a smooth, sloping surface. Over millions of years, the softer rock beneath it eroded away, leaving behind the striking wave formation we see today.
Rock conduit that remains were the surrounding cone have been eroded is?
Rock conduit that remains when the surrounding cone has been eroded is the volcanic neck.
What will happen if more of a rock's surface is exposed?
More of it will be weathered and eroded.
What must happen to an igneous rock before it can become a sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
To become a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered, and then eroded, and then deposited as a sediment, and then consolidated (e.g. by cementation or pressure welding of grains.) To become a metamorphic rock it must be transformed by heat and pressure, which it can do directly (e.g. granite turning into gneiss) or after first turning into a sedimentary rock.

What will happen if a rock is eroded in a place where there is no soil?
You know how the soil grows plants like in the rock but if there is no soil then the plant won't grow in the rock.
What must happen to molten lava before it turns into extrusive rock?
As soon as the lava hardens, it is considered an igneous rock.
What must happen to a rock for it to become a metamorphic rock?
It must melt.
What must happen to metamorphic rock to become sedimentary rock?
The rock is eroded or weathered away into sediments. The sediments settle and through compaction , the sediments are pushed together to form a sediment. Short Answer: It must be broken down into a sediment.
What step in the rock cycle occurs before sediments are laid down?
The previous step is usually given as transport of eroded rock.
What must sediments that are eroded and deposited go through before becoming a sedimentary rock?
Eroded and deposited sediments undergo the processes of compaction and cementation. Compaction involves the squeezing together of sediments due to the weight of overlying layers, while cementation occurs when minerals precipitate in the pore spaces between particles, binding them together to form a solid rock.
What is found at the base of the cliff after it has been eroded?
== == After a rock has been eroded you will find dirt,sand,rock and occcasionally silk.
What must happen for any rock in the rock cycle to form sedimentery rock?
yes
A layer of horizontal rock once exposed and eroded before younger rocks formed over it is called a?
disconformity
