There is only the four vehicles, water, wind, ice, gravity. This is really easy to remember when you use my teacher's motions.

What is the natural wearing down or breaking apart of rocks?
physical
How do animals cause weathering of rocks?
no answer for that thing never mine that thing...
Both erosion and weathering can be observed by?
watching for movement in rocks.
They contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering?
Weathering refers to the disintegration and decomposition of rocks. Pressure, temperature, acid rain, water, ice and wind all contribute to mechanical and chemical weathering.
What process occurs when bits of rocks are carried away by flowing water?
weathering
Which aids in the weathering and transportation of rocks?
rain
What helps form topsoil?
weathering of rocks.!
What processes most directly helps soil from rocks?
weathering
What processes most directly helps create soil from rocks?
Weathering and erosion break down rocks until they, eventually, become soil.
What role does wind and water play for sedimentary rocks?
weathering and erosion helps to build sedimentary layers then sedimentary rocks
What causes sedimentary rocks to change into hard rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
Contrast weathering and erosion?
Weathering is the disintegration and decomposition of rock at or near the surface of the Earth. Erosion is the transportation of material by water, wind, or ice. Simplistically, weathering is the breakdown of rocks and erosion is the carrying away of the broken down fragments.
What causes change in color in a sedimentary rock?
weathering erosion transportation deposition compaction/cementation and lithification changes sediments to sedimentary rocks. High pressure and temperatures changes them to metamophic rocks
How do physical weathering and chemical weathering affect rocks in the same way.?
Physical weathering and chemical weathering both break down rocks.
What does weathering mean in the rock cycle?
Rocks may be broken physically into smaller pieces. They may also be broken as a result of change in chemical composition. The breaking down of rocks (either physically or chemically) at or near the earth's surface is called weathering. Rocks are weatherd in different ways such as: 1.Weathering of rocks by water 2. Weathering of rocks by the wind 3. Weathering of rocks by plants 4. Weathering of rocks by animals 5. Weathering of rocks by the people
What aids in the weathering and transportation of rocks?
Very simply, rocks on the surface of the earth are weathered and eroded. The broken pieces are carried away, mostly by streams and rivers - this is transportation. When the river drops the pieces of rock, often when it reaches the sea, we have the material to start the formation of new sedimentary rocks. Weathering also exposes more older rock, so the processes continue.
What is the process that helps create the different types of rocks?
weathering can change one type of rock to another
