It erodes it- wears it away over a period of time.
The rock cycle.
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.
Factors such as the speed of the water, the size and shape of the rocks, the amount of sediment in the water, and the duration of exposure to water all affect the rate at which rocks abrade in running water. Typically, faster-moving water and a higher concentration of sediment will cause rocks to abrade more quickly.
canyons and plateaus
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.
Chimney Rock was formed by differential erosion, which is the process of some rock layers eroding more quickly than others due to variations in their resistance to weathering and erosion. Over time, this differential erosion shaped the distinctive spire-like structure of Chimney Rock.
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.
Over time, water running over rock can erode the rock and create smooth or jagged formations. This process is known as erosion and can lead to the formation of features like waterfalls, canyons, and river valleys. Erosion depends on factors such as the strength of the rock, volume and speed of the water, and the amount of time the water has been flowing.
Ralph says it's a rotten place because there's no running water there.
A canyon is a land form that is carved by running water over a long period of time, usually through erosion. The force of the water wears away the rock or soil, resulting in the formation of a deep, narrow valley with steep sides.
Rain and running water can enlarge existing cracks in rocks through its erosive powers. Freezing water in a rock crack will expand, causing additional fracture.
no rock is water proof if a rock get hit with water it does erode so no rock is water proof
