What are the destructive forces that act on mountains to erode them?
The primary destructive forces that erode mountains include weathering (physical and chemical breakdown of rock), erosion (transportation of rock particles by water, ice, or wind), and mass wasting (downslope movement of rock and soil). These processes gradually wear down mountain peaks and reshape the landscape over time.
What are destructive forces that act on mountains to erode them?
Water ice or wind
What are 4 things that erode weathered rocks?
Wind erosion, where particles are moved by the force of wind. Water erosion, as flowing water wears away rock surfaces and carries sediment downstream. Ice erosion, as glaciers and frost can break apart and transport rock fragments. Chemical erosion, where rock minerals are dissolved by acidic rainwater or other chemicals, weakening the rock.
What can erode soil?
Water, ice, wind, and gravity; the agents of erosion.
Three agents of erosion?
Three agents of erosion are wind, water, and ice. Wind can erode rocks and soil by carrying particles away. Water, such as rivers and oceans, can erode surfaces through processes like abrasion and dissolution. Ice, in the form of glaciers, can erode land by grinding and plucking rocks as it moves.
How does ice and water change the land?
Ice and water changes the land by causing rocks and soil to erode. Both ice and water will create cracks in rock and can even create mountains or river beds.
How does nature erode and and deposit rock?
Water erodes small rocks by flowing over them,, ice glaciers drag rocks with them.
What type of rock is water proof?
no rock is water proof if a rock get hit with water it does erode so no rock is water proof

What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
How do glaciers move boulders?
As a glacier or ice sheet moves, it can erode bedrock. The ice can then pick up, or entrain, the eroded rock. As the ice flows, it transports the bedrock debris in the direction of flow.
How do you put erode in a sentence?
erode is a noun. Wind and water erode rock. past tense- eroded The Colorado River eroded the Grand Canyon
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
How can water erode materials?
Water seeps into cracks and breaks apart the rock or water rubs the side of the rock that is exposed and breaks off pieces of the rock.
What are things that erode weathered rock?
things that erode weathered rock
How does temperature change erode rock?
If water is caught in cracks in the rock and it freezes it expands. This causes the rock to chip off.
