Why are rocks always jagged?

How do glacial grooves form?
Glacial grooves forms when rocks set over time with water running over them. These rocks can form in different looks.
How does water change landscape?
Water is a powerful landscaper. Water can weather and erode rock over many years to create new structures or wear them down. One example of water's ability to drastically change the land, is the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River over thousands of years had weathered and eroded the rock as the land was pushed upward from below. The river "cut" through the rock, and created the Grand Canyon. Torrential rains can cause flooding. Heavy flooding can be destrucive and can uproot trees, carry and toss rocks, and destroy habitats. Rain could turn a calm stream into a raging river that can pick up debris from the river bed, bashing them into the surrounding area. Water can freeze in between rocks and when it expands, this process of expanding in the rocks over years can change mountainous regions. It can over time reduce their size(from the rocks that fall or slide off). Glaciers can turnlow-lying hills into deep valleys as they move along slowly over the years. Glaciers oftern "pick up" rocks as they move along, and this is from their "cutting' through the ladnscape. Earthquakes under the ocean or sudden displacements can cause tsunamis. Tsunamis are powerful waves that can destroy a beach and the land behind it. These massive waves can overcome and submerge small islands or even barrier islands. These are just a few of the common ways in which water can change the landscape.
How does freezing and melting water weather rocks?
Water erodes rocks by taking away little bits, and water gets into the little pits of a rock, and when it freezes, the water expands and makes the pits/cracks bigger. Over time, this breaks the rocks down.

How are rapids are formed?
Rapids occur in a shallower part of a river where there is a steep difference in levels. This increases how fast the water flows. Water then hits exposed rocks and creates air bubbles making the water appear white in color.
