What is the process that break down rock called?
Weathering or erosion.
How can nature change the rock cycle?
By weathering and erosion. The types of weathering used is:physical weathering- when a plant grows inside a rock and the roots break it apart; abrasion- mechanical weathering - erosion- and chemical weathering - acid rain, water weathering and erosion.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called sediments.
How does erosion differnfrom weathering?
Erosion is the removal of the topsoil either by water or wind, while weathering is the break down of rock to form soil.
What starts the change from a igneous rock to a sedimentary rock?
Weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into sediment. The sediment is then transported and deposited, where it undergoes compaction and cementation to form a sedimentary rock.
What type of rock can break down into sediments because of weathering and erosion?
sedimentary dah!
Any rock exposed at Earths surface will undergo?
Weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into smaller pieces and transport them away. This process is driven by factors such as wind, water, and temperature changes, and eventually leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
What are the processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Weathering and erosion are the processes that break down rock at the Earth's surface. Weathering includes physical, chemical, and biological processes that break down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion involves the movement of these weathered materials by water, wind, ice, or gravity.
Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called?
Sediments
What is weathering the process in which water wind and heat break down rock?
Another word for this is erosion.
What rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion?
Any and all rock can be changed into sediment by weathering and erosion.
Processes that break down rock at earths surface?
Weathering and erosion processes break down rock at Earth's surface. Weathering involves physical breakdown (mechanical weathering) and chemical breakdown (chemical weathering) of rocks, while erosion involves the transportation of the broken-down rock particles by agents like water, wind, or ice. Over time, these processes shape the Earth's surface and contribute to the formation of landforms.
