It wears down the rock making it smaller and smaller year after year
The wind puts pressure on the rocks. the rocks deteriorate slowly.
yes
most often with erosion by wind or water.
Wind and ice can cause physical weathering in rocks by breaking them apart through processes like freeze-thaw cycles and abrasion. Over time, this can lead to the formation of cracks, fractures, and eventually the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces.
The answer is erosion of rocks and land forms
Strong winds pick up patricles of dust and sand as they blow. These particles scartch the surface of rocks. As the rocks are repeatedly scratched, they slowly wear away. Rocks weathered by wind change shapes. Some look like natural bridges while others look strange. Rocks weathered by wind may change in shape but the composition of the rocks remains the same. Hope that answered your question.
Which rocks are exposed to more wind, rain, and ice
well, think about it, wind can erode ALL size of rocks, wind does its job, which is eroding rocks.
Mechanical weathering, like wind, water, and other forms of erosion. Now, rain and some rivers contain diluted rocks and can change rocks.
Everything. There is so many ways to change rocks. Erosion by Wind and Water. Earthquakes/Plate Tectonics, Subduction leading to metamorphism and ultimately melting and becoming Igneous. Man.
water can change the earths surface by breaking down rocks into sediment and then the wind blowing them to a different spot to change the earth.(An example is the Grand Canyon.)
