What is the picking up and moving of rocks called?
The process of picking up and moving rocks is called rock lifting or rock relocation.
What are the scratch marks on rocks from moving glaciers called?
The scratch marks on rocks left by moving glaciers are called glacial striations. These marks are typically parallel and indicate the direction in which the glacier was moving.
Where is one most likely to find rocks that have become smooth and rounded?
River beds.
What are very smooth rocks called?
Very smooth rocks are called "polished rocks" or "river rocks" due to the smooth texture achieved from erosion in water bodies like rivers and oceans.
How does moving water weather rocks?
Moving water can weather rocks through a process called abrasion, where the water carries sediment that physically rubs against the rock, wearing it down. Chemical weathering can also occur as the water interacts with minerals in the rock, causing them to dissolve or break down. Over time, these processes can shape and erode the rock, changing its appearance.
What is a moving river of ice that carries rocks and wearys away the land called?
Glacier
What is a river's load?
material that a river carries along E.g (stone, grass & rocks)
What is the name given to the rocks and particles the river carries?
Sediment load
Moving water that carries small particels of soil sand and gravel is called what?
Erosion-is the carrying small particles and other solids. (dirt, leaves, rocks and other particles)
What is the picking up and moving of rocks called?
The process of picking up and moving rocks is called rock lifting or rock relocation.
How does a change?
the river current slows down it drops of rocks and gets some dissolved materal it carries on down the river two a shore
Which will cause more erosion a slow or fast moving river?
A fast moving river will. This is true because in a fast moving river more sediment is picked up from theedges of the stream and the bed making the riverwider and deeper. Also more rocks will be picked up eroding the other rocks.In a slow moving river less sediment will be picked up, and the river will erode slower.Therefor the river will also pick up less rocks and or smaller rocksthat wont erode the river as fast.
How do river valleys form?
A river creates a canyon through erosion. The faster the water is moving the faster the canyon is going to be formed. The water rushes on the bottom and moves rocks as it goes along and the rocks scrape on other rocks and loosen up the soil and other rocks so it carves out a canyon.
What are the scratch marks on rocks from moving glaciers called?
The scratch marks on rocks left by moving glaciers are called glacial striations. These marks are typically parallel and indicate the direction in which the glacier was moving.
What are small rocks carried along by a river called?
sediment
What are dirt rocks or sand carried by a river called?
deposition
How does rivers cause erosion?
water in a river is constantly moving. Moving water will pick up sediments from the bottom of a river, and carry them with it. Water also has the power to move large rocks slowly along the bottom of a river.
