What else can I help you with?
What is a river's load?
material that a river carries along E.g (stone, grass & rocks)
How does rainfall cause erosion?
The rain wears tiny particles off of rocks and carries them down a slope.
What is a moving river of ice that carries rocks and wearys away the land called?
Glacier
How does a change?
the river current slows down it drops of rocks and gets some dissolved materal it carries on down the river two a shore
Why is clay sedimentary?
Clay is formed from rocks by those rocks being weathered to minute particles, those particles being washed in a river and then deposited. As clay is formed of these "sediments" it is sedimentary.
Which transport medium carries the largest particles?
The largest particles are carried by the transport medium of glaciers, which can transport rocks, boulders, and sediment over long distances.
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)
How does a river change?
Please rephrase - the question is unclear.
What is it called when rivers pick up tiny rocks from parent rocks?
Weathering is the reduction in size of the parent rocks. Erosion is the movement of the rock particles to a different location, in this case, via river water.
What is it called when rocks settle down at the bottom of a river?
When rocks settle down at the bottom of a river, the process is called sedimentation. This occurs when the water's flow slows, allowing particles and sediments, including rocks, to accumulate on the riverbed. Over time, these sediments can build up and form layers, contributing to the river's geological features.
Is rock flour a sign of weathering or erosion?
Rock flour is a product of both weathering and erosion processes. Weathering breaks down rocks into smaller particles, while erosion transports these particles to another location. Rock flour is created when rocks are weathered into very fine particles, which are then transported by erosion processes such as glacial movement or river flow.
Where does the sand in the desert originate from?
The sand in the desert originates from the erosion of rocks and minerals over time. The wind carries these particles and deposits them in the desert, forming the sandy landscape.
