How does erosion affect river rocks and sand?

Erosion affect river rocks by moving them and creating friction. This wears rocks down to sand and silt. Sand and silt is also moved by the effects of erosion, which enriches the soil in another area. Note the difference between affect and effect. One thing affects another thing. Both things can effect something else.

Which substance has the greatest effect on the rate at which rocks weather?

Water has the greatest effect on the rate at which rocks weather, as it can cause physical and chemical weathering processes to occur more rapidly. Water can dissolve minerals within rocks, increase their susceptibility to erosion, and facilitate the growth of vegetation that can further break down rocks.


Do all rocks use erosion?

No, not all rocks undergo erosion. Erosion is the process of wearing away rocks and soil by natural forces like water, wind, and ice. Some rocks are more resistant to erosion, such as igneous rocks like granite, while others like sandstone are more susceptible to erosion due to their composition and structure.


Is erosion in the rock cycle?
