What G are the small bits that rocks are made from?
The small bits that rocks are made from are called grains. These grains can vary in size and shape, and are typically composed of minerals or other solid materials.
How does the hardness of rocks influence the shape of features which wind erosion can produce?
the loose particles blown by the wind may knock against other objects and cause erosion
What is sedimentary rocks made of?
Sedimentary rocks are made out of sediments.

How does wind erosion shape the landsacpe?
The wind can pick-up and carry sand grains. It is these sand grains that act as 'sand-paper' against the rocks, eroding the rocks into weird shapes.
Why do rocks have grains?
Grains are the particles that make up a rock and may consist of eroded particles of various sizes of other rocks or mineral crystals.
Why do sedimentary rocks erode faster than others?
Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.
Why do sedimentary rocks wear away faster than others?
Sedimentary rocks tend to erode easily compared to other types of rocks as the grains within them are farther apart than the "grains" in, let's say, igneous rocks. As a result of this, the "grains" can be easily crumble. An example of this is sand.

Why are the grains of sand on a beach so small?
Well, sand starts as pebbles and rocks. These rock then grind against each other breaking smaller & smaller until you get sand.
