Why do crack in a rock get larger because water has frozen in them?
Weathering is the process which breaks rocks into smaller bits. This is one type of weatheringPhysical weathering is a physical action which breaks up rocks : An example of this is called freeze-thaw weathering when water gets into tiny cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands, if this is repeated the crack grows and bits eventually break off.
The disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near earth's surface is known as?
Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earth's surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion
Both weathering and erosion produce?
Sediment, which is small bits of rock, soil, sand ,dead stuff....
What is the name for the bits of rocks that are moved around and eventually form new rocks?
yes
What is the process where bits of rock in streams get smaller and rounder?
If a rock falls into a stream or river, they can get transported (carried away). As they are moved by the water, the rock fragment knock against each other and wear away. This is called ABRASION. This bits of rock or sand in streams are called Sediment.
What process occurs when bits of rocks are carried away by flowing water?
weathering

Why rocks are broken down?
Rocks can be broken up by them being moved in quick flowing rivers or streams. If there are other rocks in there, they may hit each other and bits will come off.
What are bits of sand and rock and soil formed by weathering called?
Sediments.
Would ocean waves depositing sand on beaches be an example of weathering?
No. Weathering means the breaking down of preexisting solid rock into its bits.
What is weathering and the sequences?
Weathering can be all kinds of things, for example, the wind blowing hard on a building above the sea and making holes in it is weathering. Also the sea hitting the cliffs and making bits fall off it is weathering.

Describe the processes involved in erosion?
neither really happens "first." Erosion is the process of earth being moved from one place and being deposited at another. Weathering is the breaking down of structures into pieces that can then be taken away. So, in the cases where there is weathering, weathering would occur first then erosion.Weathering, the wearing down of rocks or soil, happens before erosion, the removal of rock or soil.

What happen with a dog with no rabies bits you?
You bleed.
