Why is land not washed away in heavy rain and wind?
Land IS washed away in heavy rain and wind through the processes of weathering and erosion. The reason ALL of it is not washed away at once is because it takes considerable time for enough material to be weathered for it to be carried away by the rain and wind.
Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?
That forms sedimentary rock.
What materials is primarily a mixture of weathered rock and organic matter?
soil
Whenever a characteristic and chemical composition of weathered materials have altered they have undergone?
Chemical weathering.
What is the most weathered materials on earth surface are called?
Soil, (regolith).
How does a rock weathered?
particles of its minerals are carried away
What are weathered Earth materials are blown away called?
the process that moves wethe process that moves weathered materials athered materials
What is it called when weathered rock carried away?
erosion
What process by which weathered material are carried away?
The process by which weathered material is carried away is called erosion. This can happen through different agents such as water, wind, ice, or gravity. Erosion plays a key role in shaping the Earth's surface over time.
When does erosion occur?
Erosion occurs when a rock is carried away from where it was weathered. It makes the rock fragments rounded and small.
Process by which weatherd materials are carried away?
erosion (?)
What is the carrying away of weathered materials?
Weathered material may be moved by some form of transportation, which may include transportation through an agent of erosion, but may also include transportation through mass movement.
How are weathered materials moved?
Water n Wind
How is weathered rock carried away by running water?
There is a certain amount of kinetic force associated with running water - the greater the volume and the faster the speed, the higher the kinetic force. This force can be transferred to weathered rock, such as pebbles or silt, and put the rock into motion along with the water.

What is the process by which earth materials are carried away by wind water gravity or ice?
The scientific name for such a process is EROSION
Weathered rock materials are pressed and cemented to form?
That forms sedimentary rock.
