rain, wind, heat
Do mountains contain natural resources minerals coal etc?
I don't think mountains do as such, but when the rocks are pushed up and weathered by rain, sun and wind, mineral deposits are often exposed and therefore easier to find and extract, than if they are buried underground.
Is wind the strongest agent of erosion?
Wind speed is certainly a contributing factor to the amount of erosion. The higher the wind speed, the more force it has against objects. This means that it can push deeper into the soil to loosen and blow away more soil particles than a milder wind.
How are rocks broken down into different sizes of sediment?
