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.
What is the moving of broken down rocks and sediments from one place to another called?
Erosion.
Are Sedimentary rocks formed from broken fragments called organic?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from broken fragments are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Organic sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation of organic material such as plant debris or remains of marine organisms.
What rocks are formed from broken rocks?
Rocks formed from broken rocks are known as sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material. Common examples of sedimentary rocks formed from broken rocks include sandstone, conglomerate, and shale.
What type of rock when rocks are broken down into smaller fragments?
Rocks are broken down by physical or chemical weathering.
What are rocks that have been worn away or broken up by chemical biological or physical processes called?
Rocks that have been worn away or broken up by chemical, biological, or physical processes are called "sedimentary rocks." These processes, known as weathering and erosion, lead to the breakdown of pre-existing rocks into smaller particles, which can then accumulate and eventually lithify into sedimentary formations. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, limestone, and shale.
The process by which rocks are broken down into smaller fragments by the atmosphere and other factors in the environment is called?
weathering
