What does transport network in geography mean?
Transportation is a term used for the movement of sediments via transporting agents such as water, wind, ice and even gravity. Transportation is evident in rivers and streams where you can find pebbles of rock some of which might be perfectly spherical and others not quite spherical but round. Such round shapes are the result of transportation which causes attrition of rocks by hitting other rocks or materials, for example, in rivers, breaking bits off to form round shapes as supposed to angular shapes which are predominant in rocks which are freshly eroded.
Why have the Appalachian mountains eroded more than the rocky?
because they are very old and have been eroded by the elements

What process changes sedimentary rock into igneous rock?
Physical and chemical erosion/weathering, followed by transport and finally sedimentation. Transport is not always occuring, it is possible that eroded particles are sedimentated in situ. Also, it is higly likely that during transportation, eroded particles are even further significantly eroded/weathered. For example, when a boulder is transported downstream, it's roundness increases with time/distance travelled.

What is a sedimentry rocks?
Sedimentary rocks are those formed from the accumulation and cementation of other rocks and eroded rock particles usually, but not necessarily, after transportation by means of water.

Where metamorphic rock are found?
Everywhere at some depth, and on the surface where uplift and erosion have allowed them to be visible. They can also be found as pebbles or boulders in glacial drift, deposited in areas in which they do not normally appear.
