Which type of succession takes the longest?
primary succession
How can one type of rock become another type of rock how is it possible?
One type of rock can transform into another type of rock through the process of metamorphism, which occurs due to changes in temperature, pressure, or the presence of fluids. During metamorphism, the mineral composition and texture of the rock can change, resulting in the formation of a new type of rock. This process usually takes place deep within the Earth's crust over long periods of time.
What is an example of parent rock?
It means the rock that a small piece broke off from. Outside our local library is a boulder quite different from our local sandstone. It is labelled as 'an erratic block of andesitic agglomerate' which broke off 'from the parent rock in Cumbria some millions of years ago'. It was carried about 120 miles by a glacier.
If a planet had no atmosphere or weather what type of rock would it not have?
Without an atmosphere or weather, a planet would not have sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments by water, wind, or ice - processes that require an active atmosphere and weather system to transport the sediments.
Scientists use rock cycle to describe what process?
The rock cycle is how one type of rock can be changed into another type of rock.
What type of igneous rock takes the longest time to cool?
Intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite, take the longest time to cool because they form beneath the Earth's surface where heat dissipates slowly. This slow cooling process allows large crystals to form in the rock.
Which type of succession takes the longest?
primary succession
What determines how fast a rock will weather?
Climate and the type of rock
What type of rock weather to form sediment?
erosion
What type of rock takes the longest to form?
Metamorphic rocks typically take the longest to form, as they are created from existing rocks that undergo extreme heat and pressure over long periods of time in the Earth's crust. This process can take millions of years to transform the original rock into a metamorphic rock.
Factors that affect rates of weathering (rock type)?
Two key factors affect the rates of weathering rock type and climate. Rock type: Minerals that dissolve easily weather faster, softer materials break apart more easily, porous minerals weather more easily.
What type of climate does granite last longest in?
An extremely hot climate (volcano) because granite is an igneous rock.
What determines the rate at which rocks weather '?
The rate at which rocks weather is determined by factors such as the type of rock, climate (temperature and precipitation), presence of vegetation, and human activities. Rocks that are more susceptible to chemical and physical breakdown will weather faster compared to more resistant rocks.
Is a type of weather where rock is dissolved by an acid?
Carbonationfrost wedging
What type of sedimentary rock is formed from weather particles of rocks and minerals?
Sandstone is one possible form.

Sandstone is one possible form.
