How are fragments transported and abraded?
There are a few different ways. By the current in the water. By explosive volcanic eruptions. By erosion and wind. By gravity. By glaciers. By icebergs. By human/animal movement. By meteor impact. By landslides.
What are three ways rock becomes eroded and three ways rock is deposited?
Three ways rock erodes include:Mechanical and chemical weatheringTransportation of the weathered particles to another location.WindIceWaterGravityWays rocks are deposited include:WindIceWaterGravity
Explain 2 ways water changes the Earth's surface?
Water changes the Earth's surface by erosion and flooding.....................I think......1)well, water can cause erosion.2) it can cause land slideAnswerWithout water, plant and animal life would not exist, drastically altering Earth's surface. Water is huge in the weathering of surface rock and necessary to the rock cycle.
How does wind and water cause erosion?
Water and wind can cause erosion the a variety of ways, but the overall answer is friction. Water can cause erosion by a) liquid water beating a way at the rock and slowly carving into it over a long period of time b) liquid water picking up sediment and depositing it elsewhere c) liquid water seeping into cracks in the rock and later freezing (thus expanding the water) and prying apart the rock or d) frozen water coming down an incline in the form of a glacier, thus cutting into the rock underneath and carrying rock long distances. Wind mainly causes erosion by picking up small grains of sand or sediment and throwing them into solid rock. This constant pummeling essentially sands down the rock and grinds away at, often leaving behind exotic and colorful rock formations.
How do you think weathering forms hoodoos in Bryce Canyon Be sure to give examples of ways in which the canyons surface is torn down by physical and chemical weathering erosion and deposition?
Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon are formed through a combination of physical and chemical weathering processes. Physical weathering, such as frost wedging and abrasion, breaks down the rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering, like hydration and oxidation, alters the composition of the rock. Erosion by wind and water then further shapes the hoodoos, while deposition of sediment can lead to their formation in new areas.
How does water physically and chemically weather rock?
water causes mechanical weathering of rocks in two ways: *the force of moving water (such as running water anf waves) scrapes and breaks rocks * alternate freezing and thawing of water in rock crevices eventually break rocks in countries that experience winter. by:karmela Jane tamesis a grade 5 pupil
How do waves breaks down the rocks?
it what ways do people contribute to the breaking down of rocks
What are the forces that break down rocks?
There are several ways that rock is broken down. One of these is wind. Another is water, especially the cycle of freezing and thawing.

What are the similarities between mechanical weathering and chemical weathering?
Both mechanical weathering (physically breaking rock into smaller pieces) and chemical weathering (chemically changing and even dissolving rock) result in rock layers being broken down. Water can be involved in both - freezing and then thawing lead to mechanical breaking by cracking rock, dissolving can lead to leaching chemical components of the rock, possibly weakening it and leading to pitting of the surface, for example. Also they both can break down some rocks faster than other rocks.
How ice breaks rocks?
It can do this in two ways. # The Ice can hold rocks in itself and rub these (like sandpaper) across other rocks as it moves, this causes the rocks being rubbed together to break.This is called abrasion. # It can also break rock as it freezes, this is because when water freezes it expands and thus if water enters a crack in a rock then freezes in the crack the ice will try to force the crack open and over time this breaks up the rock. This is called freeze-thaw.
What does water do to a rock?
water affects rocks when water rubs against rock for a long long time the rock starts to weather away so it breaks inti small particles. Also if water comes in contact with the rocks, it would have to go around the rock therefore it slows the flow of the water down. If the rocks had holes in the middle it wouldn't really slow the water down but it only a little. That's because the water still kind of has to go over the base of the rock. Also if rocks were naturally piled up with no gaps and they're too high for the water to go over, then the water would have to stop and flow to the side not forward so that it could get back on track.

What are two ways the earth breaks down?
earthquake earthquake Weathering and Erosion. Weathering is the breaking down of the earth's surface, and erosion is the moving of weathered material.

How can there be a rock that floats and what are three ways that this rock can be formed?
Very porous rocks such as pumice can be very light and have the potential to float on water. Pumice is a volcanic rock.
How do rocks get in the ground?
The Mississippi river carries tons of tiny rock fragments called sediments into the Gulf of Mexico. What do you think will happen to these sediments after a few million years?
