Rocks being made smooth by tumbling across a stream bed is an example of?
Mechanical weathering.
What causes rocks to be smooth and rounded?
tumbling against other rocks and sand, either in a stream or in a rock tumbler.
What causes the difference between breccias and conglomerante?
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
What causes rocks to be smooth?
By weathering which is the gradual wearing away of something. In this case rocks can be weathered by water (current in a large water source or heavy rains) and even wind and other things such as acid rain. Hope that clears things up!
Which type of weathering causes the mineral composition of rocks to change?
mechanical weathering
What cause rocks in a stream to be smooth?
flowing water
What causes rocks on the beach to be smooth?
By weathering. The water currents weather the rocks leaving them smooth.

How air causes weathering of rocks?
High speed wind such as a tornado or cyclone can result in weathering of rocks. weathering of rocks make the huge rocks into stones and then into pebbles and then gradually into sand.
