Even raindrops can start erosion that can move rocks by first moving tiny particles of soil and starting paths for tiny rivulets that can become streams. The faster water in streams can pick up larger objects and move them. The action of moving water can also cause particles of suspended sand to abrade rocks and sediments, corroding and displacing them until the rocks are no longer held in place. Water that collects in cavities or cracks in underlying substrate expands when it freezes, moving rocks by upward or lateral pressure from the expansion of the ice.

Does water move small rocks?
yes they can flow with the water and if there is a curent it will pull them along. eat rocks children
How do rocks move from one place to another?
Gravity can move rocks down. Moving water is good at moving rocks, particularly floods where the water is moving violently. A favorite is glaciation. A glacier can move a rock the size of a building across the landscape. Not very fast, but a long way.
Why do rocks move in different directions?
First of all, why would rocks move in different directions? Even though rocks could move in different directions, it is not possible for them to move on their own. Rocks have to have force applied to them in order to move.
How do you move rocks?
Use strength. I believe you need the Water gym badge
What is a large mass of frozen water that can move rocks and boulders and move slowly and made great changes on earth?
A glacier
What can move rocks and soil?
Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice can move rocks and soil through processes like erosion. Human activities like construction and mining can also move rocks and soil when heavy machinery is used.
What are the four things that move rocks (erosion)?
The four main agents of erosion that move rocks are water (rivers, rain, waves), wind, ice (glaciers), and gravity. These forces can break down rocks into smaller pieces and transport them to different locations.
Does water erosion move rocks?
Yes, water erosion can move rocks by carrying them downstream or wearing them down into smaller particles over time. This process is known as sediment transport, where the force of water can pick up and transport rocks of various sizes along a stream or river.
What is a weathering agent in which frozen water causes rocks to break down?
The water get to cold and freezes the rock fomring them to not move at all.
How do rocks move?
Everything on or in the Earth moves relative to something, so yes.
What large mass of frozen water can move rocks and boulders moves slow and changes the earth?
It is a diamond
What are 10 non living things that move?
sand rocks viruses pollution water and much more
