What is in weathered parent rock?
soil is in weathered parent rock
How do rock types and rock structure affect the rate of erosion?
Typically, weathered rock materials do not stay in place. Wherever the ground slopes, gravity causes soil and rock fragments to fall, slide, or move at slow speeds to lower levels. Rain or wind may remove sand and dust from the side of a hill. A river transporting weathered material downstream. Mass movement refers to the downward transportation of weathered materials by gravity. Erosion is the removal and transport of materials by natural agents such as wind and running water.
What are some examples of weathered rock?
Some examples of weathered rock inculde the Grand Canyon and Devil's tower.
Rock that formed from other weathered rock is?
sedimentary
What are sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments called?
Sedimentary rocks of weathered rock fragments are called clastic rocks.

How does a metemorphic rock change into a sedimentary rock?
By being first weathered into loose material (clast), then transported, then deposited, and then consolidated.
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 weathered rock?
A rock that is weathered.
