Chimney rock was formed from what type of erosion?
running water It was formed from water that was running away from home
When running water or wind carry away rock fragments?
The rock cycle.
What factors affect the rate at which rocks abrade in running water?
Answer: Age of the rock, and speed of the water moving, hardness of rock, how much rock there is
How is weathered rock carried away by running water?
There is a certain amount of kinetic force associated with running water - the greater the volume and the faster the speed, the higher the kinetic force. This force can be transferred to weathered rock, such as pebbles or silt, and put the rock into motion along with the water.
Does heat and metamorphism cause rock to weather and erode?
No because it is rain and running water.
Which landforms result when running water such as River erodes Rock and soil from an area?
canyons and plateaus
What landforms results when running water such as a river erodes rock and soil from an area?
mountains and volcanoes
What are three actions are caused by the force of water that help drive the rock cycle?
Running water can (1) erode rock into smaller rock fragments, (2) dissolve rock into minerals, both of which can be redeposited as sedimentary rock, and (3) carried to the ocean to be melted at subducting plates.
Mass wasting is the downhill movement of soil and rock debris caused by what?
Running water :) wrong, its GRAVITY
What are four ways that gravity moves sediment and rock?
Through landslides, mudslides, running water, and glaciers.
How does running water affect rocks?
The more the water brushes against the more the rock fades away meaning that parts of the rock is eroded ,washes away, it changes formation.
How does running water cause weathering?
it runs over rock/sand/dirt and removes little pieces know as erosion
