Why do the rocks located in stream beds are smooth?
Rocks in stream beds can become smooth due to a process called abrasion. As water flows over the rocks, it carries sediment and particles that constantly rub against the rocks, wearing them down and making them smooth over time. The friction caused by the movement of water and sediment helps polish the surface of the rocks.
What were the smooth rounded rocks that helped dinosaurs digest and grind their food?
Gastroliths were the smooth, rounded rocks that dinosaurs ingested to help them digest and grind their food. These rocks were swallowed and moved around in the stomach to break down tough plant material.
What causes rocks on the beach to be smooth?
By weathering. The water currents weather the rocks leaving them smooth.
What causes rocks in a stream to be smooth is it weathering?
Rocks in a stream become smooth through a process called abrasion, where the sediments carried by the water wear down the rocks over time. This continuous rubbing and grinding against each other in the stream smoothens the surface of the rocks.

Why are rocks in streams so smooth?

What are smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?
Essentially, the only types of rock that can stand up to this type of erosion are igneous and metamorphic rocks. I am not certain there is a technical or scientific term for this type of rock, but the colloquial or "slang" term for them is river rocks.
Why might you find smooth rocks on a beach?
Smooth rocks on a beach are often the result of continuous erosion caused by water and sand rubbing against the rocks over time. The motion of waves can wear down the rough edges of the rocks, making them smooth.
Are igneous rocks smooth?
They may be smooth and others may be rough. Smoothness/roughness is not a defining characteristic for igneous rocks.
