Why are pebbles in sea water smooth and curved?
Most small pebbles are the remains of older larger pebbles, and even larger rocks many millions of years old. They became smaller and smaller through natural erosion processes (such as wind and water.) These processes affect all parts of the pebble equally (the pebble, whether it is on land or in the water, is constantly being tumbled around.) This constant erosion on all sides ends up making it smooth and round, much in the same way that rubbing sand paper across wood makes that side of it smooth. The erosion sort of "cleans up" any jagged irregularities of the pebble.
What type of rock is mud stone?
Mudstone is a type of sedimentary rock that is composed primarily of fine-grained mud or clay particles. It forms in low-energy environments such as lakes, swamps, and deep marine basins. Mudstone is characterized by its ability to break into thin, flat layers and its dull, smooth texture.
What color can slate be?
Slate is metamorphosed shale. Shale is a sedimentary rock that is composed of fine particles of clay minerals and mud that were transported and sorted by water. The color is a product of the type of clay and mud being transported and the time of its deposition.
