What else can I help you with?
Why does it take less time for small rock to wear away than it does for large rocks to wear away?
Because the large one has a more bigger surface than the small rock
Light colored igneous rocks are less what than dark igneous rocks?
Dense. Light colored igneous rocks have lower density compared to dark colored igneous rocks due to their higher silica content, which results in slower cooling and the formation of larger crystals.
Why do smaller rocks weather faster than big rocks?
Small particles weather faster than larger particles because they have a smaller surface area. For example, pebbles weather faster than boulders because the have less areas to cover.
Which size particles does the wind usually skip and bounce for short?
clay and silt
What is the weathering process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
The term erosion could be applied to the weathering of the surface of the earth. As water and the particulate matter it carries sweep over rocks, the softer ones will be worn away, will erode, more quickly than the harder ones. In the event of violent flooding when a massive increase in water flow churns river beds, rocks can be picked up and slammed together. Again it will be the softer materials that will be broken up more than the harder ones.
Why does it take less time for small rocks to wear away than it does for large rocks wear away?
Small rocks have a larger surface-to-volume ratio , and are therefore more quickly weathered compared to a large rock with a lower surface-to-volume ratio.
Why does it take less time for small to wear away than it does for large rocks to wear away?

Why do larger rocks wear slower than smaller rocks?
When you think about it a larger rock has more surface area to be worn away think about it like if you have a large sweet or a small sweet,which will be gone faster if you suck/chew it,the small sweet because there is less of it
Why does it take less time for small rocks to wear away than it does for large rocks to wear away?
Small rocks have less mass and surface area compared to large rocks, which allows forces like weathering and erosion to act more efficiently and quickly break them down. Additionally, small rocks may experience more frequent impacts and movements due to their size, further accelerating the wear and tear process.
Why does it take less time for small rocks to wear away than it does for large rock to wear away?
Because the large one has a more bigger surface than the small rock

What is differental weathering?
The process by which softer, less weather resistant rocks wear away and leave harder, more weather resistant rocks behind
In a desert soil containing a mixture of sand and small rocks is exposed to wind erosion .over time how would the land surface change Explain?
Over time, the wind erodes the finer particles like sand away, leaving behind the larger rocks on the surface. This process can lead to the formation of desert pavement, where the surface is covered with a layer of closely packed rocks. As erosion continues, the land surface may become more barren and rocky, with less vegetation able to grow.
What are the benefits of a small microwave versus a larger one?
Less power usage and less counter space take up. Small microwaves are great for small families or single people
