Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
How do detrial rocks form?
Detrital rocks are formed from sedimentation of loose particles of rocks that are worn away from rocks from a different location.
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.
What is the process by which rocks are worn down and altered overa period of time?
weathering
Which rocks are worn down and altered over a period of time is called?
weathering
Smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?
Conglomarate
How are rocks worn away?
Rocks are worn away through the process of weathering and erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces while erosion is what carries the rock to new places. Rocks can be worn away by water, ice, and wind. Examples of this are abrasion, ice wedging, and dissolution.
Why does rocks get damaged?
Rocks wear away because slowly,wind/water take away tiny pieces of dust and slowly it gets worn away.
Can sedimentary rocks be worn down?
Yes
How do detrial rocks form?
Detrital rocks are formed from sedimentation of loose particles of rocks that are worn away from rocks from a different location.
Why do rocks get worn down by the rain?
Rocks can be gradually dissolved by naturally acidic rainwater.
What is the process by which rocks get worn away and can crumble?
Erosion
What is a chemical or physical process in which rocks exposed to the weather are worn down by water wind or ice?
Smaller particles of rock are produced from larger particles.
What are smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?
Essentially, the only types of rock that can stand up to this type of erosion are igneous and metamorphic rocks. I am not certain there is a technical or scientific term for this type of rock, but the colloquial or "slang" term for them is river rocks.

How do you make your pointe shoes shiny?
Pointe shoes come shiny. If the shine in your pointe shoes is gone, it probably means it was a) worn out or b) rubbed off with a chemical. You can not make them shiny again. Purchase new ones. ;)
The rocks of earth are constinatly being worn away in a process of?
"erosion"
