Once a rock is formed, it does not change its structure or composition.
That statement is false because the structure and composition can be changed by the environment.

"Once a rock is formed, it does not change its structure or composition" is the false statement. Once a rock is formed it immediately begins to change due to natural forces.
You would learn a lot more about these sorts of things if you would do a little reading and not be so quick to accept someone else's answers.

once a rock is formed,it does not change its structure or composition. rocks do change, by processes like denudation or weathering

if the statement above were true:
then erosion would be a usless word. erosion changes rocks also.

"Once a rock is formed, it does not change its structure or composition." is false because rocks can be changed due to weathering and erosion, heat and pressure, and or magmafication. ***

I've seen you ask a few of these questions in different categories, so it looks like you haven't studied all year and are trying to get all your homework done in one weekend.
All the answers (in this category and the others) must be in your school books if you simply took the time to read a bit.
