What else can I help you with?
What makes sand?
Sand is composed of bits of rock that have been broken down to a small size.
Which type of rock are produced from broken down bits of other kind of rock?
Sedimentary
What is the term for bits of rock and dirt?
The term is sediment. Sediment is made up of small pieces of rock, mineral, and organic material that have been broken down by weathering and erosion processes.
What G are the small bits that rock are made from?
granite?
What happens to bits of rock when you water carrying them slows down?
erosion
Which kind of rocks are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Clastic sedimentary rocks.
Which type of rock are produced from broken down bits of other kinds of rock?
Sediments are produced
What happens after sedimentary rocks form from broken bits of other rock deposited and then?
After sedimentary rocks form from broken bits of other rock, they undergo further processes such as compaction and cementation. Over time, layers of sediment accumulate, and the weight of overlying materials compresses the lower layers, forcing water out and allowing minerals to act as a cement to bind the particles together. This process solidifies the sediments into rock. Eventually, these sedimentary rocks can be uplifted and exposed to weathering, leading to the formation of new sediments and continuing the rock cycle.
Does Saturn have a ring why?
Yes, Saturn has a lot of rings. The rings are made up of thousands of small bits of ice or rock. They are so close to Saturn that a normal moon would be broken up there by Saturn's gravity.
What is a bits of weathered rock particles?
Weathered rock particles are small pieces of rock that have been broken down by physical, chemical, or biological processes. These particles can be found in soil, sediment, and other natural formations.
What happens when a large rock is broken up?
You get lots of smaller rocks
What processs occurs when bits of rock are carried away by flowing water?
The process is called erosion. When bits of rock are carried away by flowing water, they can be broken down into smaller pieces and transported downstream. Erosion can shape landscapes by wearing down rock and soil over time.
