Describe how new rock materials can be added to a continent?
They can be added by deep-sea sediments, igneous rocks, river sediments, and terranes.
How can the granite of a mountain change first into sandstone and then into quartize?
The Granite mountain becomes weathered and eroded by surface processes and the debris is carried off and separated into its sandy components by water flowing in rivers. The sandy sediments pile up and become buried by more sediments and as this happens they fuse together to form a new sandstone rock. Should this new rock become involved in a continental collision that heats up and squashes the sandstone rock this will metamorphose into a quartzite.
How can sedimentary rock be changed into a new sedimentary rock?
When a sedimentary rock is weathered or eroded, it becomes sediments, or small pieces of rock. Then the sediments are compacted together and they are formed into a new sedimentary rock. I hope my answer was helpful to you.
The agents of erosion lay down sediment in a new location in process called?
deposition. its easy to remember because its positionwith a de- in front.
How does energy relate to the transportatin and deposition of sediments?
Energy plays a crucial role in the transportation and deposition of sediments. In transportation, the energy in the form of wind, water currents, or gravity determines the velocity and force required to move sediments from their source to a new location. Higher energy environments can transport larger and heavier sediments, while lower energy environments are only capable of carrying finer particles. During deposition, the energy of the transporting medium decreases, causing the sediments to settle and be deposited in layers based on their size and weight.
What is the name of a new location where sediments are lain down?
A deposition environment.
How are sediments created and how do those sediments make new landforms?
Idek
What is the movement of rock particles by water ice or gravity?
Erosion. Weathering is the physical and chemical breakdown of rock. Erosion is the removal of of weathered sediments. Transport is the movement of weathered sediments (say in suspension in river water) during the erosion process. Deposition is the laying down of the transported sediments in a new location.

How new land forms?
well first is weathering, then the sediments ,then erosion takes the sediments to a new place ,then they are deposited there for a new land form to come

How does water affect sediment?
When water deposites sediments in new locations, it creates new landforms.

Where did sedimentany rock come from?
Sediments (sand, clay, boulders etc) are derived from the erosion of preexisting rocks by snow, ice, water and wind. Eventually these sediments settle and are covered by more sediments. As the weight of overlying sediments builds up the pressure and minerals dissolved in and carried by groundwater cement the sediment particles together to form a new rock layer. This new rock is called a sedimentary rock.
