Why do large round rocks erode faster than rocks with sharp corners?
Its actually more about the composition of the rock than the shape, the rounded rocks tend to be of a softer material such as sandstone, limestone etc which erode quicker and as such form into rounded shapes were harder rocks such as granite are more resistant to erosion and therefore its the softer materials that erode and leave the sharp edges of granite.
What is the weathering process by which softer less weather resistant rocks are worn away leaving more weather resistant rocks exposed?
The term erosion could be applied to the weathering of the surface of the earth. As water and the particulate matter it carries sweep over rocks, the softer ones will be worn away, will erode, more quickly than the harder ones. In the event of violent flooding when a massive increase in water flow churns river beds, rocks can be picked up and slammed together. Again it will be the softer materials that will be broken up more than the harder ones.
How do headlands form?
These are formed when cliffs of hard rock erode more slowly than the surrounding softer rock does.
Is boiling a potato a physical change?
Yes, your changing the texture of the inside from a more harder on to that of a bit more softer.
Is dark colored granite softer than light colored granite?
no, generally darker granite is harder and weighs more, has less water absorption abilities.

What is the process whereby softer sedimentary rocks erode more quickly than harder rock shaping the surface of the landscape?
Weathering and erosion.
How are rocks affected by weathering?
They're slowly eroded. It's like sandblasting, but slower. Softer rocks erode more quickly than harder rocks.

What will erode earth material faster regular water or salt water?
Salt water will erode earth material much more quicker.
How do you change the sound for a drum?
By beating it more harder or softer.
Is a soccer ball harder or softer with more air pressure?
it get harder with more air. Deflate the ball and tell me if you can squeeze it.

Why is the middle of a river deeper?
MOST rivers are basically because of erosion. but sometimes this is NOT actually true!Generally they should be, but not in all cases - if there is a softer band of rock in the river bed then the river will erode this quicker and cause a deeper portion, or if the river flows quicker at one point then it will again erode quicker
Are harder minerals more useful than softer minerals?
Depends on the useage.
What is touch response piano keys?
Its a feature on keyboards. The harder you strike a piano key, the louder it will be. The more gently you strike the note, the softer the note will be. Striking a key harder will produce a louder sound, striking it softer will produce a softer sound.

Yes, your changing the texture of the inside from a more harder on to that of a bit more softer.
