What else can I help you with?
Why are there rocks in the river?
They have been deposited there after being weathered and eroded from their point of origin.
Is eroded soil in sedimentary rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are by definition composed of little pieces of eroded rocks. So, yes!
How did water most help to shape the Grand Canyon?
Yes, it was the flooding of the Colorado River.
How did weathering contribut to the formation of the grand canyon?
The Colorado River gradually eroded the rocks, cutting the deep gorge we see today.
How has the Old Harry Rocks changed?
the rocks had eroded
Which type of rock appears to be the most easily eroded by the river in this area?
Sedimentary rocks tend to be the most easily eroded by rivers due to their composition and structure, especially rocks like sandstone and shale. These rocks are often softer and more porous compared to igneous or metamorphic rocks, making them more susceptible to weathering and erosion processes.
Can clastic rocks be sedimentary rocks?
Yes, clastic rocks are a type of sedimentary rock. They are formed from the accumulation of fragments of pre-existing rocks, minerals, and organic materials. The fragments, known as clasts, are compacted and cemented together to form a cohesive rock.
Can a rock explode?
Yes, they can be eroded chemically and mechanically.
Which type of rocks can be weathered and eroded?
All types of rocks can be weathered and eroded. However, sedimentary rocks are typically more susceptible to weathering and erosion compared to igneous and metamorphic rocks due to their composition and structure.
How does a river erode?
rivers aren't permanently the same shape, through different methods rivers can be eroded and shaped over long periods of time. i will give four Hydraulic action, this is where the sheer force of the water forces the river side to be eaten away, this can be through cracks in rock or mud which the water is forced into which can then break off fragments. Attrition, this is where large objects such as mud or rocks smash together and break of fragments. Abrasion, this is where particulates such as sand or small stones are carried by the river and rubbed on the river walls, this works much like sandpaper and grinds away the river corrosion, this is where chemical substances in the water that are particularly caustic react and dissolve river walls and other substances
Igneous rock is eroded and what to the bottom of a river eventually forming what kind of rock?
Igneous rock eroded in a river will eventually form sediment, which can be compacted and cemented to become sedimentary rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include sandstone, shale, and limestone.
Was the Grand Canyon eroded?
Yes. The Grand Canyon was eroded by the Colorado River.
