What are some similarities between erosion and weathering?
they both have to do with sediments
What step in the rock cycle helps sedimentary rock to from?
Erosion of igneous and metamorphic rock
How does erosion have anything to do with the rock cycle?
Erosion transports weathered material from all three rock types in the rock cycle to a point of deposition where it can lithify into sedimentary rock.
Can a igneouse rock become a sedimentary rock?
It all depends on the cycle of how it works.. 1st it would need to cause sediments by weathering + erosion. 2nd It would also need compaction and cementation to cause pressure. 3rd you have a sedimentary rock!!
What powers the earth's rock cycle?
Heat from the earth's core, via the magma drives the tectonic part of the rock cycle. This heat is derived mainly from radioactive fission of the heavy elements in the Core.Gravity drives much of the weathering part of the rock cycle. Via evaporation of water, and rain and rivers, and glaciation.Some solar radiation also energizes part of the weathering part of the rock cycle.
What process changes rock on earth's surface?
weathering,erosion, and deposition
What are examples of erosion deposition and weathering?
Processes affecting the surface of the Earth and part of the Rock Cycle.
What are the parts of the rock cycle?
weathering,erosion,deposition,compaction and cementation,metamorphism,melting,cooling and solidification.
What are all parts of the rock cycle?
weathering,erosion, deposition,compaction,cenentation,metaorphism,melting,cooling and solidfication
What are the major processes involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks?
There are various processes that are involved in the formation of sedimentary rocks. This starts from weathering to deposition then erosion and finally there is lithification and compaction.
What are two ways that water on earth and the water cycle are related to weathering and erosion?
Wind and water
What are the main parts of the rock cycle?
(Orogenesis) - Melting, Eruption, Cooling, Crystallization, Solidification. (Diagnesis) - Weathering, Erosion, Transportation, Deposition, Stratification, Cementation, Lithification, Sedimentation. (Metamorphism) - Heating, Pressurization, Stress, Deformation, Recrystallization.
How are the water cycle and earths water related to weathering and erosion?
The rain removes the top soil. It decreases soil's fertility and cause erosion.
What is the evidence that the rock cycle is happening?
The existence of denudational processes such as weathering, erosion, transportations and deposition. And also the activities of mass wasting/movement, rock deformation and faulting.
Does an intrusive igneous rock sometimes become a sedimentary rock?
It can, if it is exposed at the surface and undergoes weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification. In other words, it does not necessarily become sedimentary rock, but it could if it follows that path in the rock cycle.
What are some similarities between erosion and weathering?
they both have to do with sediments
What part of a cycle shapes and reshapes land?
answer is deposition and erosion~
