What causes the erosion of rocks on the moons surface?
impact of particles from space (i.e. asteroids)
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
What is caused when water in e cracks in rocks freezes and expands?
Erosion ... breaking of the rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks affected by weathering and erosion?
All rocks are, once on the surface exposed to "the elements".
Its a appositive this question wind can create alterations in the surface layers of rocks wind is one cause of erosion?
Wind can create alterations in the surface layers of rocks, and wind is one cause of erosion.
How does weathering and erosion change moons surface?
Because the moon has neither liquid water or an atmosphere on its surface, there is very little weathering or erosion. Any weathering or erosion that does place is caused by repeated meteorite impacts, which break up and scatter the rocks and dust on the Moon's surface.
What causes the erosion of rocks on the moons surface?
impact of particles from space (i.e. asteroids)
What has caused all of the craters on the moons surface?
Space rocks (meteors) striking the surface.
How do rocks or comets are cause to crash into moons surface?
rocks and comets are attracted by moons gravity, so they crash
What happens when rocks go to the surface?
Erosion.

A landslide is an example of?
Landslides are caused by the force of gravity pulling on the rocks.
