What is fast erosion?
Fast erosion is when any force (wind, rain, ice, water, etc.) comes in at a massive amount causing erosion to happen quicker and more violently. For example, A monsoon (heavy rain storm) could create a form of fast erosion known as a landslide. If there is a tsunami the force of the water could rip apart coastlines, and nearby land forms.
Why can metamorphic rock exist on an island of purely volcanic origin?
Rock, including igneous rock, can undergo hydrothermal metamorphism, as hot water that has been near magma comes in contact with it. If the volcano is large enough, pressure can later the rock, which can then be exposed by erosion and landslides.

Does the rock cycle have a certain order?
There are five sequences in the rock cycle. Melting is the first, then cooling and crystallization, followed by weathering and erosion and deportation, next comes cementation and compaction, and finally heat and pressure.
How does deposition relate to weathering and erosion?
Deposition is the process of dropping or depositing sediment that has been weathered and eroded from one location to another. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion carries these pieces away. When the transported sediment settles out of the erosional system and comes to rest, deposition occurs.
What is the role of erosion and depostion?
Erosion involves the wearing away of rock and soil through processes like wind and water, while deposition involves the laying down of these eroded materials in a new location. Together, erosion and deposition shape the Earth's surface by moving sediment from one place to another, forming landforms such as valleys, deltas, and beaches.
What comes after weathering?
After autumn, the next season is winter.
What sediment is moved by erosion is dropped and comes to rest?
The sediment moved by erosion that is dropped and comes to rest is known as deposition. Deposition occurs when the erosional forces of wind, water, or ice no longer have enough energy to transport sediment, causing it to settle and accumulate in a new location. Over time, deposited sediment can build up to form features such as beaches, deltas, and riverbanks.
Which describes the process by which sediment drops and comes to rest?
The process by which sediment drops and comes to rest is called sedimentation. When sediments are transported by water, wind, or ice, they eventually settle out and accumulate on the ground or at the bottom of a body of water due to gravity. Over time, these deposited sediments can form sedimentary rocks through compaction and cementation.
Where does stone come from?
Stone is a natural material that is formed through the solidification of minerals over a long period of time, typically through the cooling and solidification of molten rock (igneous rock), the compaction and cementation of sediment (sedimentary rock), or the recrystallization of existing rock under high temperature and pressure (metamorphic rock). These processes can occur in various geological settings such as volcanic eruptions, sediment deposition in bodies of water or on land, and deep within the Earth's crust.
What is it called sediment is dropped and comes to rest?
Deposition
What is the driving force behind weathering deposition and erosion?
Temperature Change is the driving force behind Weathering by Exfoliation. Continuous alternation of wetting and drying of rock masses results to an uneven expansion and contraction of their surface, as a result of this, an heaving and sagging mechanism is put in place and this eventually results to sheeting of the rock surface, which latter falls off.
What sediment is dropped an comes to rest?
Particles like sand, silt, and clay are dropped and come to rest as sediment. These particles are carried by water, wind, or ice and eventually settle onto surfaces such as riverbeds, ocean floors, or valleys. Over time, the accumulation of sediment can form sedimentary rock through processes like compaction and cementation.
