Bits of rock from a mountain can reach the sea through processes such as erosion, weathering, and transportation. These processes involve factors like wind, water, and ice breaking down and carrying the rock particles from the mountain to rivers or glaciers that eventually lead to the sea. Once in the sea, these rock particles may contribute to the formation of beaches or seabed sediments.

How many years a mountain can exist before it is washed to the sea?
It depends on what the mountain is made of and whether or not it is still being uplifted. The schist rock at the bottom of the Grand Canyon was once at the bottom of island mountain. In that sense, the mountain still partially exists. The age of the rock--between 1.8 and 2 billion years old.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
Sedimentary rock is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together through processes like compaction and cementation. This type of rock typically forms at or near the Earth's surface through the accumulation and solidification of sediments.
What is the type of Rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together?
The type of rock formed when smaller bits of rock become pressed or cemented together is called sedimentary rock. This process involves the accumulation and compaction of sediments over time, which solidify to form sedimentary rocks.
What is rock called that is formed from bits of rocky material that settles to the bottom of rivers lakes and oceans?
Clastic sedimentary rock is sedimentary rock that is formed from rock particles.
What are tiny bits of rock and soil called?
i believe that tiny bits of rock and soil are called minerals. i am not sure about this so you might want to look on yahoo or google or something,, but i am pretty sure about this. :)
What tiny bits of rock and soil help plants grow?
rocks found in the bottom of the ocean or sea.
Are rock snails consumers?
Sea Snails can eat bits of dead Animals, but they generally eat weed.
What is the middle of a mountain?
The middle of a mountain is typically its highest point, known as the peak or summit. This is where the mountain reaches its maximum elevation above sea level.
What do you call sandy area by the sea?
the sea shore
Mountain is to hill as sea is to?
Hill is to mountain as sea is to ..... tank
How could small pieces of the Himalayas form new rock?
Over millions of years, the piled weight of eroded particles will squeeze the bits together on the sea floor. New rock will form

What are bits of rock called?
sediments
How do rocks get worn away by the sea?
It gets worn away by the sea because it is simply eroded which mean when water is moving fast the waves crash against the rock and bits fall off into the sea. when this happens the waves carry the pieces of rock away and they end up on a beach as sand or at the bottom of the ocean.
How does a sea erode?
There are four main ways in which the coast can be eroded by the sea:Hydraulic action:lots of sea water crashes against the land, causing air and water to become trapped and compressed in surface cracks. When the sea retreats the air expands, weakening the cracks in the rock and causing pieces of the rock to break off.Corrasion: caused by bits of rock hitting the cliffs and other parts of the land, causing more bits of rock to break off.Attrition: rock fragments grind each other down into smaller and smoother pebbles and eventually into sand which is then deposited on the beaches.Corrosion: involves the chemical action of sea on rock, often happens with limestone beaches, when the limestone dissolves in the sea water although the salt can affect some other stones as well.
Which rocks could form when existing bits of rock stick together?
If existing bits of rock become attached through the process of lithification, a clastic sedimentary rock is formed.
Is the dead sea salty or less salty?
The dead sea is getting more salty. Like all seas, rivers which carry bits of sedimentary rock, enter the sea and "dump" whatever they carried on its journey to the sea. As you may well know, there is salt in this sedimnetary rock. The dead sea is more salty that others for a fews reasons: * Higher salt content in rocks & soil * More rivers entering sea
