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 are two results of wave erosion along a coast?
Two results are:A sea arch,when waves erode a layer of softer rock that underlies a layer a hard rock.Another one is a sea cave,which is formed when ocean waves hit against a steep and rocky coast lots of times.
What are the factors that allow a river to erode materials?
The slope of the river, its discharge, and the shape of the riverbed.the velocity of the water. the hardness of the mineral its trying to erode, the harder it is the longer it will take to erode.
What two forms of water that can erode the earth?
glacier and moraine
A sharp pyramid shaped peak tat forms when three or more cirques erode a mountain?
deformation
Can a harder rock erode more quicker then a softer rock?
no
What is the process whereby softer sedimentary rocks erode more quickly than harder rock shaping the surface of the landscape?
Weathering and erosion.
What is the significance of the Tees Exe Line?
It divides Britain into hard and softer rock types. The softer rocks in the south-east erode faster. In the north west are older harder rocks such as granite and basalt.

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.
Do all coast erode at the same rate?
no, many coast lines are made of different rocks (some harder and some softer) and have different chemical compounds in the sea water.
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.
