What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
all of them
Why do large round rocks erode faster than rocks with sharp corners?
Its actually more about the composition of the rock than the shape, the rounded rocks tend to be of a softer material such as sandstone, limestone etc which erode quicker and as such form into rounded shapes were harder rocks such as granite are more resistant to erosion and therefore its the softer materials that erode and leave the sharp edges of granite.
Why do you think weather is used to refer to the breakdown of rocks?
Because water and air are a form of weather and they both break down rocks.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
Metamorphic rocks.
Where is an igneous rock most likely from?
igneous rocks usally form by cooled magma.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?

What property of water allows it to form sinkholes?
It's ability to weather and erode rock.

What type of mountains are the adirondack mountains?
These are upwarped mountains. They form when blocks of Earth's crust are pushed up by forces within Earth. Over time, the soil and sedimentary rocks at the top of Earth's crust erode, exposing the hard, crystalline rock underneath. As these rocks erode, they form the peaks and ridges.

How can igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks form?
igneous rocks form when hot molten rock cools and solidifiessedimentary rocks form when other rocks erode and the erosion products collect then are buried and fuse together or minerals are deposited by living things and are buriedmetamorphic rocks form when other rocks are buried deep and the high temperature and pressure removes volatiles and modifies crystal structures in the rock
Does weathering and erosion effect rocks on the earth's surface only?
No of course not. Anywhere water has the ability to flow across, along, or through rocks it will erode the rock. If wind blows through an underground cavern it will weather the surface of the rocks it encounters.
How do earth mountains form and erode?
Earth's mountains form and erode from erupting and by shifting plates.
What is metamorphic rocks most likely form?
From the actions of heat and presure on pre-existing rocks.
What can water damage?
it damages metal by rusting it Water in its purest form can dissolve rocks and minerals. It can erode mountains and cut through solid rock.
Igneous and sedimentary rocks are exposed to extreme pressure and heat They will most likely form?
Metamorphic rocks.
What do the five agents of erosion do?
They weather away rocks and form some surface features of the Earth.
