How can an erosion effect the ocean?
erosion can effect the ocean because when there is erosion the sand will effect the height or space of the beach or ocean
How does weathering affect erosion?
Weathering can effect erosion in that the absence of support from wind and brine pounding against the rock (weathering) just simply lets the dirt, gravel, etc. to just slide down (erosion).
How long does weathering and erosion take for rocks?
Weathering and erosion very rarely takes minuets for weathering and erosion to take effect. It usually takes millions of years for a rock to get weathered and eroded.
How does erosion effect landforms after a light rain?
It starts little by little to break down a rock and carry loose sediments away.
How does erosion effect the rock cycle?
erosion can effect the rock cycle by turning igneouse and metamorphic rocks into sediments and eventualy turn into a sedimentary rock such as sandstone
What are the effect on acid rain?
Melting of rock or erosion
What effect does weathering and erosion have on the rock cycle?
Weather and erosion only mark a rock. They leave lines /patterns and eventualy work into it.

How does erosion effect wind?
erosion doesn't effect wind, wind causes erosion

What will happen to sand if a rock is in the sand?
The effect will likely be on the rock. Sand is rock that has already been powdered by erosion. What will happen is that the sand, if it is hard enough, will erode the rock surface, which typically polishes it until it is smooth.
What effect does erosion have on rocks?
The gases it release breaks down the rock and then it turns to dust in about 5 hours. Or it can even round a jagged rock. it does many things to affect it!
