How did the sun become a big star?
First off, the Sun is not a big star. It is a Main Sequence star, which means it's an average size star. Second, at the formation of your Solar System, gravity caused rocks to start getting closer together and spinning. Eventually, the friciton and gravity was so great, and became so hot, the spinning rocks became a star, known as the Sun.
What role do rocks have in the carbon cycle?
Very little active part but rocks do provide minerals and they can store the heat from the sun during the day and release it at night thereby providing some small role.
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 orbit the sun?
Terrestrial planets and moons of both gaseous and terrestrial planets. Don't forget Dwarf planets and the asteroid belt.
What are some factors that influence the rate at which a rock weathers?
Wind Ice Flowing Water Breaking Waves Heat
What rocks weathers the slowest?
Granite.
What type of glacier weathers rocks by plucking?
Valleyglaciers:)
What weathers and transports rocks?
Water, rain. Also wind.
How acid rain weathers rock?
It lands on the rocks and dissolves them.
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 weathers rocks?
Rocks can be weathered by the wind or rain, or if water gets in some of the cracks, it would break apart
What does acid rain do to rocks and buildings?
It chemically weathers them, slowly dissolving their outer surfaces.
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
Why are seasons important?
So we can survive the weathers in our system.The Earth travels on its axis in 23.5 degrees toward the sun.
How tall is Kimelia Weathers?
Kimelia Weathers's birth name is Kimelia Tamara Kaye Weathers.
How is wind abrasion similar to sandblasting?
The wind picks up grains of sand and it is the sand that weathers the rocks, often creating weird shapes.
What is the birth name of Jes Weathers?
Jes Weathers's birth name is Jessica Weathers.
