Rock that formed from other weathered rock is?
sedimentary
Is magma a weathered rock?
No. Magma is molten rock underground.
What is an example of a physical weathering and what is weathered?
An example of physical weathering is freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks in rocks, freezes, expands, and causes the rock to break apart. The rock is weathered in this process, as the repeated freezing and thawing weakens and eventually breaks it apart.
What are two ways to tell that a rock has been wheathered?
Two ways to tell that a rock has been weathered are a change in color or texture, and the presence of fractures or cracks due to expansion and contraction caused by weathering processes. Additionally, the flaking or crumbling of the rock's surface may indicate weathering.
When rock is weathered and later pressed into layers what kind of rock is formed?
sedimentary
How is rock without cracks in it weathered?
If it doesn't have cracks in it it can still be weathered. Wind, water, hot, and cold can make the rock chip away.
Insects live in the metamorphic rock?
Insects can perform their life functions in and around the cracks and fissures of exposed weathered metamorphic rock.
Are there big nuggets of gold in rocks?
A nugget is gold that has weathered out of rock. Resistant to weathering, but malleable, the gold weathered from rock will tend to become rounded, taking the shape of a nugget. Although gold can be found in association with existing rock in situ, it will not have the characteristic rounded shape of a nugget.
What kind of rock is the Snoopy rock?

What are things that erode weathered rock?

What changes might you observe in a rock as it is weathered?
As a rock weathers, you may observe physical changes such as erosion due to wind, water, or ice, resulting in a smoother or more rounded surface. Chemical weathering can lead to color changes, formation of cracks, or crumbling of the rock due to reactions with water, oxygen, or acids. Biological weathering from plants or organisms can contribute to decay or weakening of the rock structure.
What type of sedimentary rock forms from weathered particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is the sedimentary rock formed from weathered rock.
What kind of rock would you mostly find in a weathered basin?
Sedimentary
What Igneous rock at the earths surface that is weathered and wears away is called?
That would be "sedimentary rock". Sedimentary rock is formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments, including fragments of igneous rock that have been weathered and eroded.
How can you tell a rock has been weathered?
Weathered rocks often appear rounded, smooth, and have a lack of sharp edges or corners. They may also have a weathering rind or coating on their surface. Additionally, weathered rocks may exhibit cracks and fractures due to the expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
What will a rock look like after being weathered by frost action?
After being weathered by frost action, a rock may have cracks or fissures caused by the expansion of freezing water. The surface may become rough and pitted due to pieces breaking off from the rock. Overall, the rock may appear more weathered and eroded compared to its original state.
How does a weathered rock look different from a rock that is not weathered?
A weathered rock is usually smooth and broken down from erosion over time. A rock that is not weathered is usually rough, with jagged edges. NB: A lot depends on the type of rock.
