Where do white rocks come from?
White rocks can come from a variety of sources, such as quartz, marble, or limestone. These rocks can form naturally through the deposition of minerals or chemical reactions in the Earth's crust. They can also be artificially produced through processes like grinding or crushing.
Why do dogs bark at rocks?
Dogs may bark at rocks out of curiosity or because they see the rock as an unfamiliar or potentially threatening object. Barking can be their way of investigating or alerting their owners to the presence of something unusual. It may also be a form of play or an attempt to get attention.
If you found a rock with seashells in it would it be a sedimentary rock an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock?
It is definitely a sedimentary rock because you cannot find sea shells where metamorphic rocks are formed, nor can you find them in magma and lava. This is because metamorphic rocks are formed below the earths surface where the plates of the earth squash an existing rock even small to make it metamorphic, and igneous rocks are obviously formed in volcanoes where the heat and pressure would melt the fossil.
Which type of rock is likely to show ripple marks and fossils?
Sedimentary rocks show fossils, because of pre-existing life forms. They also show ripple marks due to weathering and erosion...
Why do insects live under rocks?
Insects may live under rocks to seek shelter from predators, extreme temperatures, and sunlight. These environments can provide protection and moisture, as well as a suitable habitat for feeding and reproduction.
Why does frost wedging weathers rocks?
Frost wedging weathers rocks because water expands when it freezes, causing cracks to widen and break apart the rock over time. As water seeps into cracks in the rock and freezes, the growing ice crystals create stress and pressure that eventually breaks the rock apart.
What is a permeable rock and why does it weather easily?
Porous rocks weather more easily for different reasons:Many porous rocks are made from softer materials, thus being more easily weatheredPorous rocks, by definition, tend to have lots of spaces in them where, on a microscopic or even macroscopic level, areas of the rock are not connected on all sides to other rock. As a result, there is less resistance to fracture or other separationsWater can infiltrate porous rocks and dissolve from the inside as well as the outside - even if only very slowlyBecause water can infiltrate porous rocks, they can be fractured from within when the water freezes
What rocks cause rapid runoff?
Impermeable rocks cause more rapid run off than permeable rocks. This is because the water can somewhat flow through the permeable rocks, not impermeable ones.
What rocks weathers the slowest?
Granite.
Why do you think acid precipitation weathers rocks faster than normal precipitation?
Because there is acid in this precipitation than normal precipitation so it weathers the Rock alot faster because acid is very strong
Does a permeable rock let rain pass through it?
Permeable rocks allow for liquid or gases to pass through them. Most rocks are permeable to a certain extent.
What type of glacier weathers rocks by plucking?
Valleyglaciers:)
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
What weathers and transports rocks?
Water, rain. Also wind.
What is the name of the rocks that allow water trough?
Permeable or porous rocks
What is soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
Permeable soil and rock that allows water to pass through it easily is called "porous" or "permeable" media. This type of material typically has open spaces or pores that enable water to flow through it.
Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?
Permeable rocks: sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate. These rocks have interconnected pores that allow water and other fluids to flow through them. Impermeable rocks: granite, basalt, and shale. These rocks have very few or no pores, making them resistant to the movement of water and fluids.
