How is the process of rocks becoming smooth in a stream similar to a mountain range being pushed up?
They both happen very slowly.
Sedimentation is least likely to occur where?
Sedimentation is the compression of sediments creating rocks. This is most likely to happen in a river, or in a mountain.
Why do the rocks at the peak of a mountain weather faster than the rocks at the bottom of the mountain?
Why do the rocks at the top of a moutain peak weather faster the ones at the bottom
What is the difference between alluvial SOIL and mountain soil?
Alluvial soil is the debris/talus from weathering/erosion of mountain rocks. If the mountain rock is granite, the alluvial is the breakdown components of it which are clay, silicon and mica sand. This so called alluvial soil will be deposited around foothills and perhaps further down if acted by river system. My take on this one : ....By the same token the mountain soil should be the "in situ" weathered/eroded mountain rocks which have not been transported away from the mountain yet.
How does the weathering of rocks at the peak of a mountain difffer from the weathering of rocks at sea level?
The reason it differs is because when it is at the top of a mountain, the air is much colder. The air penertrates the pours (holes) in the rocks and it causes it to slowly crack and eventually break completely. At sea level it is not as cold, but when the water continuously hits the rocks, some of the particles in the rocks break away. When a rock is warm, the Particles in it expand and when a rock is cold the particles in it contract. Because it is constantly expanding and contracting, it makes the rock weaker and eventually it will break.
What landform is made when river slowly cuts through rocks?
a valley is made.
How many stones or rocks has a monolith?
A monolith is a geological feature such as a mountain, consisting of a single massive stone or rock.

The big mountain that stood between the boy and the river
Where you can see river but no water mountain without rocks and cities without people?
Map
Why does a river turn orange that flows from the mountain?
Impurities in the rocks and erosion usually add a color to the water
How is river cliff formed?
The river cliffs are developed by erosion of the rocks by the water and rocks. The friction between the two will result slopes on the ground and after a span of time. Enormous cliffs will appear in the borders of the river. river cliffs are formed by the water eroding away the rock, and, overtime, they will create massive cliffs on the sides of the river

How big can sedimentary rocks get?
massive

Is a mountain a chemical?
Mountain is formed from rocks and rocks and minerals are forms of chemical substances.
How does rivers cause erosion?
water in a river is constantly moving. Moving water will pick up sediments from the bottom of a river, and carry them with it. Water also has the power to move large rocks slowly along the bottom of a river.
Why do the rocks at the peak of a mountain weather faster than the rocks at the bottom of the mountain?
Why do the rocks at the top of a moutain peak weather faster the ones at the bottom
