the rock has pigment. when rock abrasion occurs in water, the rock affects it because the pigment gets worn away so that means that the water gts somewhat polluted or dirty.

What is an abrasion platform?
An abrasion platform is a sloping or flat bedrock surface extending out from the foot of a marine cliff under shallow water of a breaker zone, created by marine abrasion.
What is physical abrasion?
Water abrasion changes the physical conditions of rocks, cliffs and along shore lines.The reason why rocks are so smooth when you take them out of the water is because of water abrasion, the water is slowly taking sediments from the rocks while the water is passing through and makes smooth.
How do landslides floods and droughts affect the earth?
Landslides are the rapid movement of rock fragments and soil. They can cause many deaths, and affect our resources, such as contaminating the water.
When particles of sediment in flowing water scrape against the streambed?
Abrasion
Abrasion caused by particles in water is a type of what?
It is a form of mechanical weathering.
When sawing and grinding actions of rock fragments in the water is called?
abrasion
What are the factors that affect the abrasion?
Water, wind, and pressure
Are rock fragments carried away by moving water?
no it's not carried away by moving water
What is the definition of abrasion in your own words?
A type of mechanical weathering that occurs when loose fragments or particle rocks and minerals get transported, by water or air that scrape the surfaces of stationary rocks.
How does wind moving the surface of water affect it?
it causes the water to move with it
Is this true or false the grand canyon was formed bywind abrasion?
False. It was water abrasion
Is abrasion a effect of water?
Yes.
What is an abrasion platform?
An abrasion platform is a sloping or flat bedrock surface extending out from the foot of a marine cliff under shallow water of a breaker zone, created by marine abrasion.
What are the two ways water breaks down rock?
Through chemical weathering by acidic rainwater, by freeze/thaw cycles, blasting the rocks with pressure and wave action, and abrasion through the churning of rocks in moving water.
What type of weathering takes place in moderate temperature?
Biological weathering takes place in moderate temperatures. Abrasion weathering is caused by moving water or wind. That can happen in moderate temperatures.
What is physical abrasion?
Water abrasion changes the physical conditions of rocks, cliffs and along shore lines.The reason why rocks are so smooth when you take them out of the water is because of water abrasion, the water is slowly taking sediments from the rocks while the water is passing through and makes smooth.
What role does abrasion play in a river?
abrasion is a type of erosion which takes place when the water rubs against the sea bed eroading it.
