Abrasion, Attrition, solution, hydraulic action
These are all for rocks under water
Rocks get biologically eroded
Roots can grow inside the rock, and break it down
Water can freeze inside holes inside the rock, breaking it down since water increases in size as it freezes.
Rain batters up the rock in a few million years
Thunder may destroy rock
What else can I help you with?
What two processes that result in rocks being broken down into smaller pieces?
chemical and physical weathering
Rocks are made up of broken pieces of other rocks are called what rocks?
saltation
What kind of rocks look as if they were made up of broken pieces of smaller rocks and shells?
Sedimentary rocks
When rocks are broken down into small pieces what does it become?
Seddiment
Rocks being broken down as they tumble down a river is an example of what?
This process is an example of mechanical weathering, where rocks are physically broken down into smaller pieces by forces like water movement and abrasion.
What are two processes that results in rocks being broken down into smaller pieces?
chemical and physical weathering
What is the second group of rocks that forms from sediments or pieces of broken rock called?
sedimentary rocks
Rocks being broken down as they tumble down a river is an example of?
Mechanical weathering (in this case, attrition) during erosion by water.
Describe how rocks are broken naturally broken down into smaller pieces?
Rocks are naturally broken down into smaller pieces through a process called weathering. This includes physical weathering, where rocks are broken apart by factors like ice, wind, and water, as well as chemical weathering, where rocks are broken down by reactions with substances in the environment. Over time, these processes cause rocks to fracture and crumble into smaller particles.
Which gradational force carries away broken pieces of rocks?
Erosion is the gradational force that carries away broken pieces of rocks through processes like water, wind, and ice. These processes gradually wear down rocks and transport the broken pieces to new locations, shaping the Earth's surface over time.
Do small rocks unite with big rocks to form a boulder?
No. Boulders are large pieces of rocks that have broken off from formations of rock.
How can rocks be broken into sediment through natural processes?
Rocks can be broken into sediment through natural processes like weathering, erosion, and transportation. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, erosion moves these pieces to new locations, and transportation carries them away. Over time, these processes create sediment from the broken down rocks.
