That's a great question. Let's take a look at the processes of the rock cycle and try to figure it out.
Weathering? Weathering is the breaking apart of rock. Occurs under the surface through faulting.
Melting? It's usually an underground thing.
Metamorphism? Almost exclusively an underground thing.
Erosion? The moving of sediments from one place to another. Can occur in caves underground.
Deposition? Also can occur in caves in the formation of secondary sedimentary rock.
Volcanism? This may be the only possibility. Most of the actual volcanic process is taking part underground, but the actual definition of a volcanic eruption infers that lava is erupted at or near the surface.
What else can I help you with?
What is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere?
The molten rock cycle is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere. This cycle involves the process of magma cooling and solidifying to form igneous rocks beneath the Earth's surface.
Is it true that earths crust movement has been taking place only during the past 1000years?
No, Earth's crust movement has been occurring for billions of years as part of the process of plate tectonics. The movement of the Earth's crust has shaped the planet's surface and continues to do so over long geological timescales.
What covers most of earths surface?
The earth is actually mostly covered by water. 73% of the earth is covered by water and only 3% is freshgrasslands
Is it true that only three or four meteorites reach earths surface each year?
No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
What is used to measure earths movement?
The device used to measure movements on earth is called, Belition. :-)) xIt measures all kinds of movement and is only used in space, above the mountains in India. It is 42482 km above the earths surface and can only be spotted by very clear teloscopes.seismigraph
When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?
None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth
What is the only substance existing as solid liquid or gas at earths surface?
Water
What type of mountain is the only one that is formed by adding new material to the earths surface?
Volcano
What type of mountains is the only one that is formed by adding new material to the earths surface?
Volcano
What is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere?
The molten rock cycle is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere. This cycle involves the process of magma cooling and solidifying to form igneous rocks beneath the Earth's surface.
What percentage of the earth's surface is water?
71.13% of the earth is covered by water. Only 3% of that water is fresh water, the rest is salt water.
What type of rock can only form on or near earths surface?
Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
Do all volcanoes share cracks surface?
No because Volcanic ash only spreads lava around the surface the only natural disaster that cracks the surface is a earthquake. A earthquake is when two of the earths plates are moving and it rumbles the earth
Does the sun influenced the formation of wind on earths surface?
Not only influence, The Sun's energy is the CAUSE of wind on Earth.
Why can you only see one side of the moon from the earths surface?
because of the earth and moon's magnetic field and gravitational pull
Is it true that earths crust movement has been taking place only during the past 1000years?
No, Earth's crust movement has been occurring for billions of years as part of the process of plate tectonics. The movement of the Earth's crust has shaped the planet's surface and continues to do so over long geological timescales.
What was the only part of the original spacecraft that made the entire trip and return to earths surface during a lunar mission?
it was the lunar module
