What is the process that changes rock into sedimemts?
That would be the process of erosion or weathering. This is when water beats against rocks through rain or waves, and breaks them down into sediment.
A river will break down rock into sediment through the process of?
Erosion
Which process is involved in breaking down solid rock and turning it into sediment?
weathering
What process is defined as any process that breaks down rock and carries it away?
erosion
Describe why weathering is important to erosion?
weathering breaks down rocks, which makes the sediment easy to be transported
What happens to rock after it breaks down?
it turns into sediment
What can weathering do to the land?
It breaks down sediment rock
How soil erosion might affect rock?
It breaks down rock, creating sediment
What is the process that changes rock into sedimemts?
That would be the process of erosion or weathering. This is when water beats against rocks through rain or waves, and breaks them down into sediment.
What is the process in which sediment is laid down is called?
When sediment is laid down, this is known as deposition. The sediment is unconsolidated and so it is not (yet) a rock.
What is the name of the process that breaks large pieces of rock into small piece of sediment?
its called weathering, or erosion
How can sedimentary rock becomes a metamorphic rock?
When the metamorphic rock breaks down into sediment. Thus, making the new rock sedimentary because when sediment forms together over time it makes it sedimentary rock
A river will break down rock into sediment through the process of?
Erosion
Can a sedimentary rock turn back into a deposit of sediment?
Yes! The process of weathering can "break down" a sedimentary rock and turn it back into a sediment.
What breaks rock into sediment?
Wind and water.
Which process is involved in breaking down solid rock and turning it into sediment?
weathering
How the metamorphic rock can become sediment rock?
The Metamorphic Rock must undergo a process called Weathering and Erosion. Once it has become sediments it goes under another process called Cementing and Compacting. Now it has become a sedimentary rock. Trust Point me if this helped! Thanks!
