What rocks are a mix of rounded pebbels and sand?
Sedimentary rocks are formed when flowing water deposits sediment. They tend to have a rounded shape, because the flowing water smooths out their shape.
Why does rock tend to become rounded?
A lot of rocks have sat in water at one time or another, and flowing water erodes minerals, giving rocks a smooth, rounded shape over time.
Because of the high temperatures and extreme pressure rocks in the asthenosphere are?
soft and flowingsoft and flowing
What happens during ice wedging?
when water freezes, it expands. when water freezes in cracks and pores of rocks, the force of its expansion is strong enough to split the rocks apart.
What are three forces that can carry sediment?
Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
What happens to electrical in a resistor?
when you think of electricity and resistance think of it as water in a river and rocks in a river. The water being the electricity and the rocks being the resistance. when water in a river flows and then come across rocks that block the water from flowing constantly, it slows down the water. therefore when electricity is flowing through a circuit with resistance, when it hits the resistors it slows the flow of electricity.
What cause rocks in a stream to be smooth?
flowing water
What do you call fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
Rapids
How did niagara formed?
water flowing over rocks and glaciers did it too

Are grains in rocks bigger or smaller when deposited by fast flowing water?
Bigger.
What process occurs when bits of rocks are carried away by flowing water?
weathering
How does nature erode and and deposit rock?
Water erodes small rocks by flowing over them,, ice glaciers drag rocks with them.
What happens to rocks that are in moving water?
They are eroded by the water.
What is the six letter word for fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
rapids
What is called fast flowing water that goes over rocks?
Well it is called rapids but I call it a waterfall
Describe the process of deposition?
Deposition is the process where sediment, soil, or other materials are deposited or laid down in a new location by wind, water, or ice. It occurs when the energy transporting the material decreases, causing it to settle out and accumulate. Deposition is an important part of the geological cycle and can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks over time.
