What are earth materials that cannot be broken into smaller pieces called?
minerals
When weathering grinding wind ice and water break rocks down into smaller pieces what are the smaller pieces called?
Sediment
The process by which rock surfaces break down into smaller pieces by physical means?
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces by physical means. \o/
What does a rock consist of?
Small solid materials that come from pieces of rocks and living organisms
Why do small pieces of food cook faster than large pieces of the same food?
This is to do with surface area. With the same amount of food cut into smaller pieces, the water is in contact with a greater amount of the food. This means two things:- 1) more of the food is being cooked at one time 2) because all the pieces are smaller it will take less time to cook the pieces properly because they are smaller.
What are smaller pieces or rocks and minerals called when eroded?
Sediments
What forms when agents of mechanical weathering break rocks into smaller pieces?
erosion
What are earth materials that cannot be broken into smaller pieces called?

When rocks are eroded they break down into smaller pieces of minerals and rocks called what?
Sediment.
When rocks eroded they break down into smaller pieces of rocks and minerals called?
Sedimentation
How do the agents of erosion work together?
They work together to break down rocks into smaller pieces. They also change landforms.
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
What basic part does weathering play in the erosion process.?
It breaks rock into smaller pieces that are more easily moved by the agents of erosion.
How does the water cycle aid in getting minerals from rocks directly to plants for nourishment?
Precipitation washes the minerals and compounds off the rocks and higher ground onto plants.Explanation:(Through the process of weathering, water breaks down rocks into smaller pieces. Through the process of erosion, the smaller pieces of minerals and compounds are washed away from the rock to the soil where plants absorb them for nourishment.)
Which will react faster bigger pieces of alka-seltzer or smaller pieces?
smaller pieces
Digestion occurs through both mechanical and chemical ways?
yes, because the body breaks it down into smaller pieces, and also takes out the vitamins and minerals.
