They get larger and rounded

∙ 15y agoWhen material is eroded by water, it is carried away by that water. Depending on the size, shape, etc. of the material eroded, the water can carry it for quite a distance. The distance traveled also depends on the velocity of the water. Eventually, the material will settle down and create graded beddings with other materials of all different sizes and shapes.

Fun fact: Millions of years from now, eroded materials from minerals will eventually fill up the major oceans creating a gigantic landmass.

Where was the eroded material from the Canadian Shield deposited and what did this material become?
The eroded particles may be carried by water, wind or ice to other locations like the lowland regions or into the ocean and lakes.The eroded materials build up and under their own pressure gradually become hardened into sedimentary rock.
What will erode earth material faster regular water or salt water?
Salt water will erode earth material much more quicker.
What is the relationship between discharge and slope of a stream?
AnswerDischarge of material? Material discharged or eroded would increase with increasing slope due to the increased cutting action of the water.
Why is there little evidence of the heavy bombardment on earth?
Weather Most of the evidence has been eroded away by the action of wind and water.
What is the heavy material that's deposited when the river currently slows down?
Well heavy earth material like sand slows down at the mouth on the river. It slows down at the mouth because at the source of the river is the fastest but as it is moving down the plain it is slowing down because of friction. Also because the eroded sand that is in the water is making the water heavier which means it will slow it down
What happens to rocks that are in moving water?
They are eroded by the water.
What happen to the soil carried away or eroded by flowing water?
the earth was broken
What am i describing when material that has been eroded and transported is dropped by the water wind or ice that was carrying it?
The deposition of sediment.

What is the major difference between highlands on the moon and the mountains on earth?
Gravity on the moon is one sixth of gravity on the earth, so mountains on the moon can be much taller. Mountains on earth are eroded by wind and water, but on the moon mountains are not eroded.
What are some factors that would reduce the amount of erosion to land forms?
The harder a material is, the less it will be eroded by mechanic forces like wind and water. Eroded material from one place can also gather another place and form a protective layer.
How might an eroded area look millions of years from now?
Depends what the agents of erosion are. For example: If it was ice, the area would be scoured clean. If it were water or wind, the eroded material may have been carried off, leaving only the eroded surface.
What will erode earth material faster regular water or salt water?
Salt water will erode earth material much more quicker.
Is the placing of materials called erosion?
No, the placing of eroded materials is known as deposition (depositing of the water born material downstream).
What is the relationship between discharge and slope of a stream?
AnswerDischarge of material? Material discharged or eroded would increase with increasing slope due to the increased cutting action of the water.
Why is there little evidence of the heavy bombardment on earth?

Where was the material eroded from the grand canyon deposited?
The material eroded from the Grand Canyon was deposited on a plain. Over many years, water eroded the plain creating a canyon later known as the Grand Canyon. The water kept weathering down the rocks until it came down to a lower level way below the top of the Grand Canyon. That is why today we have a higher and lower part of the Grand Canyon. Overall, the Grand Canyon started out as a plain and as many years passed water weathered down the rocks.
