Height differences at the surface are eventually flattened. The pieces get smaller and smaller until water and wind carry them away. Eventually they may become sedimentary rock.

What is the process of rocks breaking down into smaller pieces explain 2?
it is called weathering; the rocks get weathered by wind, water, or earthquakes (main examples) and peices break off
What is the hardness of ferruginous sandstone?
it is a rock all rocks are hard unless you put the rock in water or smash it to peices
What occurs during the wheathering process?
Wheathering is when water and ice,chemicals and even plants break rocks apart into smaller peices
What is the source of a sediment?
There are many, but the most common is broken down rocks or sand.
What carries water to the leaves of the plant?
The vascular tissue called xylem carries water to the leaves of the plant.

Which part of the stem carries water to the flower?
The tube called xylem carries water up to the flowers
Moving water that carries small particels of soil sand and gravel is called what?
Erosion-is the carrying small particles and other solids. (dirt, leaves, rocks and other particles)
What carries water to the leaves of the plant?
The vascular tissue called xylem carries water to the leaves of the plant.
What happens when water runs through or over rocks and carries small amounts of minerals away?
It's called erosion. Water carries Minerals away and it erodes the rock over millions of years. The Grand Canyon Was eroded by glaciers. The four agents of erosion are: Water,glaciers,wind,and...I forgot. Hope that helps!
What is a structure that carries flowing water called?
A bridge for carrying water is called an aqueduct.
What can you called the water in underground rocks?
Ground water.
How do rocks get made over again and again?
well its called weathering whenever wind or water makes a mountain smooth and some of the peices go to the ground.then erosion comes and it is the water or wind taking sand silt and sediment (tiny peices of rock and dirt) to a new place.then deposition is dropping the sand silt and sediment and it is forming into a rock and this happens all over again like a cycle or something
Is the water in a stream called sediment?
No, the solids the water carries is the sediment.
