How is abrasion similar to sandblasting?
Sandblasting is an abrasive process. It involves 'firing' tiny metal beads at a surface to remove grime, paint etc... The action of the beads hitting the surface at speed breaks up the coating that's to be removed.
What is an abrasion platform?
An abrasion platform is a sloping or flat bedrock surface extending out from the foot of a marine cliff under shallow water of a breaker zone, created by marine abrasion.

What does glacial polish results from?
Glacial polish results from the grinding action of glaciers as they move and slide over bedrock, smoothing and polishing the surface of rocks. This process is primarily caused by the abrasion of rock particles and debris carried by the glacier against the bedrock.
Do glaciers scratch bedrock through the process of abrasion?
When glaciers pick up loose rocks, the rocks will act as an abrasion, scoring and abrading the land beneath as the glacier slowly moved on. You can see the scratch marks on bedrock exposed on the surface in some places.Also, boulders left isolated and strange to the area as the glacier melted and retreated are known as Glacial erratics.
What is weathering of rock caused by solid particles hitting or rubbing against them called?
Particles of sand or dust rubbing across the surface of rocks is called abrasion.
Is bedrock harder than diamond?
No. From its Wikipedia entry about bedrock: "In stratigraphy, bedrock is consolidated rock underlying the surface of a terrestrial planet, usually the Earth." Diamond rates as 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness -- the highest rating. It is harder than any other mineral, which would compose bedrock.
What is wind abrasion?
Abrasion is the process by witch wind removes surface materials.Abrasion is the process by witch wind removes surface materials.
What is a corneal abrasion?
A scratch on the surface of the eyeball.
What is a sentence for the word abrade?
"Sandblasting is used to abrade the surface and remove any rust."
What is under bedrock soil?
the surface of the earth
What is the name for the area of land where bedrock pushes above the surface of the ground?
An area of land where the bedrock is exposed is referred to by geologists as a bedrock outcrop.
