What process breaks solid rock into smaller pieces?
Weathering and erosion breaks rocks into smaller pieces.
What breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
erosion
What is the slow process that breaks rocks into smaller pieces is called what?
weathering
Soil is formed from blank?
Soil is formed from rocks. When weathering breaks down rocks into smaller and smaller pieces you will get soil. This process takes thousands and thousands of years.
When two pieces of different types of rock are rubbed together one of the rocks often breaks into smaller pieces this is an example of?
mechanical weathering
Why does most weather occur?
weather changes occur in a slow process. weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces.
Describe why weathering is important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
Does a rock expand or contract with an increase in heat?
expandThe expansion of rocks when they are heated and contraction of rocks when they are cooled weakens them and eventually breaks them into smaller pieces. This is an example of mechanical weathering.
Weathering breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces sediments?
Weathering breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces sediments results in the formation sedimentary rocks.
What is it called when water wind ice or heat breaks down rocks into smaller pieces?
It is called weathering.
How does chemical weathering promote mechanical weathering?
Mechanical weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area. This allows the acid and chemicals to break down the pieces of rock faster.
What is the result when the ocean breaks pebbles into smaller and smaller pieces?
Sand
