This question needs to be quantified. If a solid rock was crushed and all the rock matter was contained to be measured after crushing the rock you find the there is no change in the amount of matter it simply changed from one rock to many. However if the question is will the rock take up more space after crushed the answer is of yes it would depending on how many pieces it was broken into.

when you crush a rock, it decreases in size.

If a rock with less mass and volume than a body of water how is it possible that it has a greater density and can sink?
Body of water has large mass and volume. Rock has got less mass and volume. But still the rock sinks in the water. The reason is very simple. Density of the rock is more than water. Mass upon volume of the rock is more than water. So rock sinks in the water. That means rock is heavier than water, if the volume of both is same. Alternately the if you take the same mass of both, rock and water, volume of the rock is lesser than that of water.
Explain where and why the energy is the greatest when a rock is dropped into a large puddle?
The key term here is "conservation of energy". Since energy can't increase or decrease over time, there is no moment when energy is "the greatest".
How does Pressure Changed?
Answer The atoms in rocks rearrange to form denser minerals. The combination of heat and pressure may cause the minerals in the rock to separate into layers.Answer Pressure squeezes out any remaining water that may be left in the metamorphic rock and minerals that have water as part of their structure are changed chemically to minerals that do not require water as part of their structure. The metamorphic rock will then have become a higher grade metamorphic rock possibly containing garnet, a non-hydrous mineral.
Which would have the greater mass - a rock with a volume of 1mL or a rock with a volume of 4mL?
The answer depnds on the density of each rock. If they are different denities thenthere is a chance that the 1mL rock may have more mass. If they have the same density then the 4mL rock will have more mass
A rock displaces 1200 ml of water what is the rock's volume?
1200ml = 1200 cm3 unless the rock floats (there are rocks that have density less than 1) in which case the volume of the rock is greater than 1200 cm3 and the mass is 1200 g
What type or rock can grow?
Many types of rock can increase in volume if hydrated or released from pressure.
What happens if the percentage of felsic minerals in a rock increase?
it becomes darker and density will decrease (a)
Does the density of the rock increase or decrease as you go deeper into the mantel?
it increase because its atoms gets small yet harder
What is an easy rock experiment?
Fill a graduated cylinder full of water, than drop a rock inside. The amount that the water rises will determine the volume of the rock. Amount of water level increase=volume of rock.
Is river rock and crushed gravel similar?
No they are not. River rock is rounded and smooth where crushed rock is sharp and jagged.
What difference is there between crushed rock sand and natural sand in mortar mixing?
What is differences between crushed rock and crushed sand
What is similar about a crushed rock and crushed bone?
The texture.
How does ice and freezing water pushes against the rock?
The increase of the volume of water when it freezes.
How does rock get crushed?
yes
How do you calculate the mass of a rock?
The mass of a rock is just how much it weighs. Density on the other hand can be found by finding the volume or size of the rock (most easily done in small objects by placing the rock into a beaker or graduated cylinder with markings to see how much water the rock displaces. Completely submerge the rock antd the increase in volume in the water is the volume of the rock). Once you know how much volume there is and how much mass there is (mass is how much it weighs) divide the mass by the volume which gives you the density. Density=Mass÷Volume
A rock will weather faster after it has been crushed because it?
The crushed rock pieces have a greater surface area then whole rock giving more exposure to weathering.
What is an intrusive igneous rock which is crushed into sand?
molten rock
